Certain health problems in different kinds of piggies?

I have come to learn that skinnies have horrible immune systems, and that teddies can come across some bad skin problems.

Are there different health risks for each kind of guinea pig, such as Abyssinians, Silkies, Americans, etc?

Re: Certain health problems in different kinds of piggies?

I read some where about Satin coat piggies. Like their hair is hollow or something so they may run into bone problems. I cant remember exactly. I need to touch up on my research I guess. I know I read about it though.

Hm, I find it really interesting how different piggies are prone to certain health problems.

I just want to make sure that I am well informed. (:

I would enjoy reading about that article if you happen to find it.

Satins have crumbly bones.
