My skinny pig smelled so much more than furry ones and I always figured it was related to the weak genetics. He was an amazing and funny pet! I'm happy to hear they are a little hardier.

I got one skinny pig, during the summer about a month ago. I absolutely love him!! His name is Hamby. I’m always home so I am constantly with him. But I noticed after I had left almost an entire day (10-5ish) he was very very upset and scared so I realized that he really needed a friend. I got another skinny pig named Ladder to be his friend. When I went back to the pet store that sold me just the one skinny pig without letting me know I needed to get 2 because of how social they are I made sure to let them know that they should probably inform people that piggies need friends :) love your channel have a nice day!

Our skinny pig Rumble recently turned 2. I love how he sleeps upright sometimes, with his ears flapping from time to time. He lives with a lunkarya called Robbie, the polar opposite in hair! One thing I didn't realise at first was how hot to the touch they feel compared to regular guinea pigs - makes sense since there's no fur, but it did surprise me.

We just got a skinny pig from our local pet store, someone surrendered him and another actual Guinea pig which is big and fat. The skinny pig looks almost like a real pig, but he has red eyes, Kinds creepy looking but adorable at the same time. So we bought the duo with the cage and accessories for $100 and to me that’s a steal because they had normal Guinea pigs with no cage for 70$. But we wanted to give the 2 little guys a forever home. This video is very helpful and explains why he jumps when we rub his back, so thank you for that bit of info!

[@silentsabbath]

Abby - you make things look so easy, even though i know they aren't. My GP who has had various issues off and on since we adopted her last year is so stubborn. She hates the antibiotics (we have to hold her and force her to take them while she fights us literally tooth and nail). She also will not eat recovery food or Oxbow Digestive support biscuits or Benebac gel. We also recently tried the Sherwood digestive tablets and NOPE. I just don't know what to do with her! So we often have to force these things (not the biscuits or tablets - but the benebac, medication and recovery food) in her mouth and it has not been pleasant for her or us. Would love to have a video on how to maybe encourage them to eat these products, if you have any ideas. I watch your videos and see everyone just taking their medicine or eating their tablets or biscuits or whatever and it's like HOW DOES SHE DO THAT? Maybe I just have a very stubborn pig! Thanks for your videos. :)

[@billyheaning]

I just rescued a skinny pig and even though the introductions went normally (typical chittering and chasing away), the poor girl can't find a place to relax. It's only day 4, but whenever she picks a spot to relax, one of my three other hairy pigs shoos her away. They're in the jumbo-sized 2x6 c+c cage, with four hard plastic hidey tubes, four water bottles, four food bowls, two stacks of hay on either side, and cuddle cups, so they have enough room, they're just asserting dominance. How long will it take for the poor skinny to be accepted? My other three bonded almost immediately.

Yes their teeth are open rooted just like a rabbit and just like rabbits they need to be kept in pairs or more. It is quite rare for them to bite, most of the time is more of a hard nip out of fear

what was the green paste you were feeding the larger pigs? were those vitamins or some type of milk for a handreared baby, if so what age is it? I see so many blankets, is bedding not recommended for skinnys? Also would an edible tunnel be too abrasive for a skinny since theyd be crawling through the wood?

I see on most websites that skinny pigs have a lifespan of 5-8 years, and i see that ones with hair actually have a 5-7 year life span. Skinny pigs can live longer now!

The popcorning is the cutest! Love the video. Abby I know this has nothing to do with this video but do you have any helpful info, my girl is 4 and a half and is going for surgery on March 4th to get stones removed. I watch all your videos and I did watch all Apples videos when she got her surgery, but is there anything else? You are the only one I know that has been through it. Also, they are putting my girl on 2 meds for the rest of her life, did they put Apple on any for life?

[@skinnypigs1]

Make sure she has ate well for the week leading up to surgery, I would hand feed her extra. I use Sherwood Recovery food. After surgery makes sure she is on pain meds and also is hand fed extra and get extra Vitamin C. Sherwood makes a nice electrolyte powder you can feed after surgery too. Give her a small area for recovery, I would use a heating pad that isn't too hot under the area she is sleeping for a few days after surgery. No they did not put Apple on anything, but I have heard of pigs going on meds like Potassium Citrate.

[@jackiejoplin2556]

@@skinnypigs1 okay thanks Abby. I do give her sherwood recovery food every morning now anyways, plus I give her the sherwood electrolytes also every morning. I have been doing that for the past month. They also told me no pellets while she has stones, have you heard of that? She does get every morning 1 ml of the childs life vitamin C ( like Scotty does). Right now she is on metacam and an antibiotic because her pee stinks really bad and peeing on herself a little, they said she most likely has an infection, she has been taking it for 2 days and its been alot better. When I get the other 2 meds in the mail most likely today I will tell you what they are, those are the ones they said she will b on for life. She has a 2x4 c&c cage and she is on fleece, should I give her half the cage? And I do have a heating pod for her I ordered off amazon about a month ago. How long did it take Apple to not be lethargic after you got her home? I know it will differ pig to pig,but just to get an idea. Sorry for all the questions.

[@skinnypigs1]

@@jackiejoplin2556 if she is getting recovery food, that is the same as pellets ingredients wise anyways, so won't make a difference to have no pellets. Often when they have bladder stones they have an infection, so being on antibiotics is good. Generally the first 24 hours are the toughest for them to get through and to get feeling better.
