Boris was meant to be a micro pig but when his weight ballooned his owners had to take drastic action.
Poor pig, he HATES HATES HATES dieting the feed ...

Julie and Graeme Cain, from Adelaide in Australia, first adopted Boris when he was a piglet but he soon started to grow fatter and fatter.

When Boris' weight reached 250kg (39st 5lb), vets warned his health was at risk and he has been put on a strict new diet to lose a quarter of his body weight.

But he is not happy.

"Whenever he's having a bit of a temper tantrum, he'll do something destructive, something that will really annoy me, just like a three-year-old kid," said Mrs Cain.

Boris has already lost 30kg of excess pork but he has got to slim down further as his obesity is affecting his eyesight.

He needs to have an operation to remove the fat around his eyes but the vet does not have an operating table big enough to hold him at his current weight.

"He wouldn't get on an ordinary operating table. He'd crush it. I even had thoughts of getting a second-hand treadmill," Mrs Cain said.

But once a pig, always a pig - Boris has taken matters into his own hands and has resorted to helping himself to some midnight feasts from the fridge.

Of course, to reduce his food from 2kg a day to 1kg has helped the pig lose weight, but he also has become naughty, and he has refined his stealing techniques, plus he's VERY angry because of the drastic reduction of daily food. Before, he was sistematically caught while trying to steal food from the fridge: now he has learnt how to shut the fridge door behind him, minimising the risk of getting caught out, and when hes mad at someone, he can be as destructive as an F5 tornado.
