Busy time: Tori said that the pig's arrival comes at a bit of inconvenient time - as she's due to give birth to her fifth child soon - but well worth the hassle
The Beverly Hills, 90210 star opened up on her website about the path she took to acquire the four-pound oinker, a female. She had been working with Oink Oink Mini Pigs, a Florida-based breeding farm for the piglets.
'They have such an amazing reputation for connecting mini piggies with families and forever homes!' the Stori Telling author said, noting she 'squealed with excitement' when company officials told her that the pig had been born and would be headed to her Southern California home in the coming months.
The Mystery Girls star conceded that while the arrival of the pig does not make for 'ideal timing' as she prepares to give birth to a baby boy, she welcomes her into the family with open arms all the same.

Spelling - whose home menagerie already includes chickens, a dog, a goat and guinea pig - added, 'Welcome to the family Nutmeg!'

Spelling told People in October that her fifth child with McDermott came as 'a total surprise,' but a pleasant one, as they 'always wanted a big family.'

Pleasant surprise: Spelling said that she and Dean are overjoyed to add to their large family
