hehe they are sweet :smitten: i'm on the fence with karen, i think they're well cute, but i just don't like to think of them having first been bred for animal testing, but we won't get into that! ::)

I know you said we wont get into that but they were not specifically bred for animal testing they genetically mutated within a Lab, it could have happened anywhere, just so happened to be a in Lab and they managed to breed a few more, to start the orginal population. Sorry for going on but alot of people believe they were speficially bred for testing which they weren't. I am just adding my two pennies worth to try and educate people a little bit more on them, no definately no debating! 0:) O0 ;)
Check out my website: http://skinnyguineapig.bravehost.com/ I am still working on it but it has some good reading.

oh right! sorry :embarassed: i'd just been led to beleive that.
they are really really sweet, it's not that i don't like the actual piggies, just their background (or so i thought ::) ) will read that another time, my brains in a bit of a scramble tonigght! ;D
 
No worries people, I would rather education people on their correct origin than carry on believeing something that was wrong. O0

No scientists were ever involved in the Skinny creation apart from putting pairs/groups together. There have recently a skinny appeared in a litter, I don't think it survived but the parents had no skinnys in their pedigree. It could be a million to one chance but breeding any pair of pigs could produce a Skinny, the genes just mutate and create nearly hairless little critters. It is possible the Baldwin(totally hairless variety) could have been genetically playied with but I haven't done much research into them TBH.

God i would love to own one of these but i just do not have the time, due to their high maintenance, but there is something kinda cute but very strange about them!


but these little small Fry's are very sweet
their not high maintenance at all , all they need is an indoor cage in a room in your house away from draughts they don't have any extra heat they are bedded exactly the same as my other pigs and fed exactly the same .

Thanks I didn't know that , and i am sorry for my ignorance ? David could i make a friendly suggestion, your comment came across as a bit snappish, if you had shoved some smiles in there i would have taken it in a completely different light ;)
