My skinny pig

This is my new skinny pig, I used to breed these many years ago but stopped due to the attitude of some people. But I've got myself this little lad, his owners were giving up and I couldn't help myself






(He needs a name too btw)

He's cute...but reminded me alittle of a tiny hippo

I'd probably call him Hippo if he were mine too

OMG!!!! Seriously I am in love

How have I never seen one of these before? Tell me more. Why were people against you breeding them? Do they have lots of health problems? Are they just like normal piggies?

Ok I'll stop with the questions now

They were in the paper about 4 years ago, one of my so called "friends" made a whole heap of money out of a load of lies etc. Google The Mirror, Skinny Pig and you will see....


They are a little more prone to fungal problems having no hair to protect them, but other than that not really.

They do eat a lot more, to keep warm and they need to be inside away from drafts, but he's just like any other piggy otherwise

I could only see the write up about them, nothing bad. Can they live with normal piggies? Or are they best to pair up with their own kind?

Mine lived with normal pigs and their own kind, so long as they are inside it doesn't matter.

She told them a load of bumpf about wooly jumpers and sun cream..

Did he come with his own wardrobe?? I think he looks like a clanger so he should have a waistcoat

Do you have more than 1?
