I have the same belief for a while but I'm not sure at all. It is very hard to keep track of the grandparents to see if they had the size.

It would be easy enough to prove, put two teacups together, if its genetic, and teacup is the most recessive, then you're gonna get teacups every time. It appears to me from my admittedly limited experimenting that the Dominance would go Normal>toy>teacup

I have mated two teacups and gotten a normal sized box, so it's not a directly passable trait. I have always noticed, however, they tend to run in certain lines, kind of like twins run in certain families in real life.
