Skinny Pigs !!!!!!!!
Hi there to everyone,,,
Basically I'm looking for some info on Skinny Pigs, My Girlfriend is a major lover and carer for guinea pigs and recently we have come across the breed of skinny pigs !!!!!!! From the research we've done and pictures we've seen its a guinea pig with no hair !!!!!!! we don't no much more but totally fallen in love with what we've seen. We've got the idea that there totally rare and only a few breeders in the uk, can ANYONE help us with what they know!!!!!! Cheers Ross & Crystal  Last edited by ducharme1; 27-12-2007 at 02:00 AM.

I used to breed guineas pigs, here all i know on Skinnys,
* They were genetically bred for lab experiments. A few got leaked out and breeders soon began breeding them. They come from america or canada i think. * They need to be kept in in-door cages and have plenty of hay, because of the lack of furr. * Can be problem pigs, often having skin problems and many health problems. * Yes they are rarer in the uk - GOOD LUCK

When I was looking to get one i was told boars go for between £80-£100 Sows £100-£120 or there abouts, the eat more food than normal pigs as there metabolic rate is alot higher to compensate for the lack of hair
