Hi and welcome!

I have a skinny pig here in IL, and am currently fostering several more for a Wisconsin Rescue. I just love the quirky little pigs - the ear flap cracks us up every time!

Awwwwww. I love skinnies. There are some at our rescue but not everyone is willing to take on the extra responsibility and there they wait. Welcome, I hope you enjoy your time at the forum!!!

aww [MENTION=29704]LiLiPiggies08[/MENTION] that is so sad! I know some rescues are just resigned to the fact that they are permanent residents. It's just too hard to ensure they will get proper care, or be kept out of the hands of breeders.

Sad, I do not think they require THAT much extra care. Just a few little things that need to be paid attention to. I am beginning to wonder if here in the MidWest, their temperature requirements might turn people off. Around here, folks don their Chicago Bears sweatshirts and turn the thermostat looooow. lol

Well they need extra food bc their metabolism is so high which helps to keep them warm. No direct sunlight. You also have to keep a eye on their skin for dryness. You should rub alittle coconut oil on them.
