Skinny Pig

Skinny Pig

The Skinny Pig is a unique and fascinating breed of guinea pig distinguished by its nearly hairless appearance. This breed, often used in laboratory settings before gaining popularity as pets, boasts a smooth and slightly wrinkled skin with minimal patches of hair, usually located on the face, feet, and legs. Despite their lack of fur, Skinny Pigs are available in a variety of skin colors and patterns, adding to their visual appeal. These guinea pigs have an energetic and curious personality, making them engaging companions for families and individuals alike. Due to their lack of fur, they require special care to ensure they stay warm in cooler environments, often needing additional bedding or a warm environment to maintain their body heat. Skinny Pigs also have a unique dietary need for vitamin C, similar to other guinea pig breeds, to maintain their overall health. Their endearing personalities and distinctive appearance make Skinny Pigs a captivating and delightful addition for pet enthusiasts.
