What can you do for dry skin? Can you just bathe them with some baby shampoo?
 
When you say dry skin what do you mean? Piggies don't generally get just dry skin. Is it flaky? Itchy?

Don't use baby shampoo on a pig (many people I know won't use it on their human babies!) as it will make it worse. See www.gorgeousguineas.com for good shampoos.
 
They had been scraching so I was petting and looking and their skin is flaky
 
check closer you ma have either a fungal infection of the skin or it may be mites if not sure get to vets especially as scratching can make it much worse
 
I have look and it is not fungal or mites.They don't scrach that much but the do scatch some, a little more than they should.
