HOW TO CARE FOR SKINNY PIGS (HAIRLESS GUINEA PIGS)

[@johnkopacka5420]

I have only 1 skinny pig....and she is very happy and healthy!..i threw out her cage a month after i got her and let her roam all over the apt...i couldn't stand seeing her in a cage...She sleeps in her tunnel beside my bed and then goes under my bed when i fall asleep and stays there till i wake up..very affectionate!...i call her to come over to see me and she does...just love this animal!..i have had her for over 2 years now

Madelyn Clocherty are they a good pet to have? Do they make a mess and do you need to spend a lot of money for there supplies

[@maddie603]

Kenzie Lafreniere ( do me in insta of you have anymore questions that need to be answered ASAP. Otherwise I only check this sometimes. My username is maddie.1721 )so I am 15 with no job except for once a month and I get $20. That is enough to get me through 1 month. The brand I get "Kaytee" and I get a $6 bag of hay and the food is about $12. They need hay constantly to maintain nutrients and so you never know when they need more and you may need to spend even more than that depending on yours. They are a little messy but not that bad. On top of the $19 dollars for food and hay, I also spend about $30 on bedding about every 6 weeks. It gets a lot sometimes. They cannot have a heating lamp because it can burn them so I got a little heater that plugs in and it stays about 6 feet away from her and it stays about 73 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. My guinea pig has dry skin I also buy coconut oil which is about another $7. On top of this you need some fresh veggies. I give 1/3 cup of Finley cut up veggies about ever 1-1 1/2 weeks because her food already has dried veggies. My guinea pig was about $100 (they can be even more expensive than that) and the cage I bought came in a set with a little bit of bedding, water, food, food dish and so it added to about $250. They also need some attention if they are alone so they will squeak a lot. They also need a little house so they can stay in there to heat up. I also bought a fleece bed so she can warm up. You always need to make sure the bedding is the soft bedding that's almost like toilet paper. They start to stink about 2 days after cleaning the entire cage out so I like to do spot cleaning. If you are away from them for a long time and they are alone, they will squeak like crazy when you get home since they need attention. They are also nocturnal so they are noisy at night. This is just my personal experience. I've had a skinny pig at all times in my life

[@MB-vu7ue]

i’m getting one this weekend edit: i got him, well i’ve had him for quite some time now. we also have a normal typical guinea pig but they really do not get along, we separated the cage when they were first introduced just so they could still smell eachother etc but weren’t overwhelmed and when we put them together they were okay to begin with but after a while the hairy one began to get more vicious towards norman-the hairless one- he’s even been scratched a few times! we can’t really separate them atm because the cage for eachother would be too small if we spilt it in half and that’s not fair on them, but do you have any suggestions or advice? we do t mind if they aren’t “best friends” but we obviously don’t want it to be a fish for one another

[@jacksonbunnin1802]

autumn pepper yay

[@rafaelanienhuis6368]

U should let them figure it out, I also own allot of cavia’s, u should let them be together for some while, and if that doesnt work I suggest u buy another cage, and separate them, while there together u should watch that they don’t kill eacother. Also a little tip, u shuold give them filtered water. Skinny’s can develope stones bye the kalk in the water. Happened with myn and they had surgeon, but died- so u should rll not give them normal water.

[@MB-vu7ue]

@@rafaelanienhuis6368 awh tysm this really helped, and ooh that’s good, i didn’t know that about filtered water but it’s okay bc i have always given them filtered water bc ik it tastes nicer😂

[@gaybowser4023]

Did they get along?

[@MB-vu7ue]

@@gaybowser4023 hi, wow! it’s been a long time, they tolerated each other, but weren’t awfully keen on each others close company, they had a little scrap when they first met but they never hurt each other, sadly my hairless guinea pig past away due to medical complications that are still unknown, we think he may of been the runt of the family, and we had to re home my other hairy guinea pig due to them needing a buddy, and unfortunately we couldn’t provide that again. i would personally recommend not mixing the breeds, but that’s simply just due to personal experience, i know other people who did, and it worked out brilliantly. if you are thinking of getting one definitely keep that hairless piggy very warm with heat pads hay and lots of blankets!

[@LostPeopleOfEarth158]

I'm considering a skinny pig or a Baldwin for my next guinea pig. When I got my first girl Plushie almost four years ago now I wasn't allergic. Now though I break out in hives if a guinea pig touches any higher than my palms. Cleaning them makes it hard to breathe and will leave me sneezing and sniffing for days sometimes. If I can even hold a guinea pig again without sleeves I'll be happy. They're my favorite animal and it brings me great joy to spoil them daily with vegetables and pets. I've already planned all the changes I would need for a hairless guinea pig. Fleece bedding, a heat pad on a thermostat in the hide and a low wattage heat light with no UV over the food dish for extra warmth. I do want to buy a quality one though when I make this step so it will live with me for years to come. Thanks for the advice for what to look for.

[@nancysullivan1637]

I have a question conserning my skinny pig. I believe I've had him for a little over 3 weeks and a small abrasion has turned into a larger scab type thing on his side. It doesn't seem to bother him and it doesn't look serious but I can't find any information on what it could be. I'm thinking that it is just from peeing in the thing he sleeps in and that's irritating his skin but I'm not quite sure what to look up or how to treat it. Would you mind giving me some clarification on what you think it might be? It's not a lump or bump it's just a raised scab looking thing sort of like an ingrown hair but on a part of him that doesn't grow any.
