Skinny pigs
« on: October 07, 2012, 09:20:11 pm »
Just wondered if anyone else keeps Skinny pigs ?
I know they are not everyones cup of tea but I personaly love them
I have kept them since early 2007 and started breeding them late 2008
I have 17 of them at the moment  :thumbsup:

Sort of cute, in an ET-ish sort of way, but I think I prefer them with fur.

 :D I saw a picture of one and was totaly hooked on them, It took me over a year on a waiting list to get one and have since imported some from sweden to get some unrelated lines

This is one of my dalmatian ones from sweden

I had to look them up as well.  They are sweet but I don't think I'd want to keep them.
