Adult Guinea Pig
What beautiful skinnies (both to starshine & satinbaby) - I love them all x)
I knew very little about skinnys until a few months ago when I tormented a certain someone with them with questions about them. The more photos I saw the more I was persuaded about them. I've held one now and have to say they are absolutley adorable. I loved your pics.
Cute piggies, though I think I prefer furries . There's a rescue in Sweden that sometimes have skinnies for rescue http://www.colina.se/marsvin/ (the two skinnies on the first page are adoptable right now). They ask for a pretty high adoption fee for skinnies, though, approx. £50 for a pair (normal for rescue is about £ 10-20 a pair) which I think is a little odd. I mean, it's one thing if they ask more for a pig they neutered as the rescue had costs for the procedure but skinnys aren't more expensive to keep than furries...
They are lovely to cuddle Until you have held a skinny you will never appreciate how warm they are - mini hot water bottles on legs!
