Pinky, I am SO glad it worked out!! No it does not have the same LOOK as oxbow but I guarantee it is great quality and pesticide free. The owner is also such a nice guy! I order my feed from there and he is kind enough to hold it for a while until I can make the drive from the city! I also love...

Ivermectine wont cure the ringworm... you need an anti fungal cream (Lamasil works well). Crusted eye sounds like URI and you need antibiotics plus probiotics. Your vet should be able to Identify this... maybe another vet would be a good idea

ditto that

Oh man... a week too late :( I am gonna check it out too. Always good to have a backup

Pinky, I heard that Lake Barrington Feed & Supply has some great Orchard grass available. Their number is 847.842.0605 Thought of you when I heard... Have not seen it but the person who mentioned knows what they are talking about :)

Pinky, I will ask them if I can give you their info. I think they also distribute to a store closer to you... The store is in Barrington. Would that work for you?

Thanks! Yes that Yolanda one of my Dalmatian Skinnies :) The more hairy piggies have some hair around the gland. No worries about your girl! Most males have an overly active gland and that's why you are able to see it. Just wash it and you are good! Don't add any lotion or oils to your piggies...

Congrats! I am a skinny mom too :) yes it's the grease glad and males have more active ones... You can wash it during your bath with Dawn dishwasher soap. Scientist have been using Dawn to clean out animals that have been affected by ocean oil spills... It's safe!! I just dab a bit of the soap...

I agree! Mine only receive supplement tablets if pregnant, nursing or ill. Our staple Green Pepper and Kale gives our guys their daily required Vit C

I agree!! My 50lbs boxes are always green and smells wonderful! I have stopped ordering from them only because I have a local farmer who provides me pesticide free orchard grass. If I ever lose this connection I will probably go back to Oxbow.

1 part bleach top 10 parts of water is safe but allow time to evaporate. Vinegar is the best choice

Lets not compare humans with animals please! Some questions for you to think about it before you compare: Why get pregnant if you could just adopt a baby? There are SO many children out there who need a home! Would it be ok to take a human child and place it in a cage (lets say a large C&C...

I am NOT promoting the purchase of an animal! I am just giving you guys FACTS!! You cant just write your OPINION and call it a FACT! And to be honest with you... All of the animals you have at home were a product of a breeding. I rather educate the future owner of a skinny rather than to close...

Actually a cautious breeder will have a health data bank with information on all of their pigs and litters. Including weekly weight since birth to present, any health issues (reason, treatment, prognosis), If they can't produce that to you you shouldn't be talking to them!

Petsmart does not get their Skinnies from a reputable breeder who understands the needs of the breed. If you want them do your research first. There are only 4 people in the country that I would consider... Do your research and you'll be able to tell! Never purchase from a breeder who does not...

They LOVE furry friends because they are warm to cuddle with! Just like I love my fleece they love their furry buddies :)

You are CORRECT when talking about their fast digestive system! I have both Skinnies and furries and to tell you the truth I see no difference when it comes to cleaning the cages! The only thing I do notice is that my skinnies are more interested in interacting with than my furry friends. They...

I am sorry but your statement is absolutely incorrect!! Here are some FACTS for you The modern Hairless Skinny pig breed originated with a cross between haired guinea pigs and a hairless lab strain. The Hairless Guinea Pig strain that it is most likely related to them was a spontaneous...

OH wow! She is really due soon... Don't pick her up anymore until the babies come. Guinea Pigs go crazy kicking inside mom none stop about 3 days before birth. First time you can see them it's usually 3 weeks before birth. To me she looks like she'll have them in the next couple of days...
