Also another question I have (can i ask another question here or do i have to make a new post?) is that if I got skinny pigs (I LOVE skinny pigs) is there anything extra I would have to do to take care of them properly?
I saw that I was tagged in this, so I'll do my best to help out.
Skinnies eat quite a bit more than a "hairy" pig. They need to burn the calories to stay warm. My vet suggested 1/4 of pellets a day for two pigs, and my pigs easily eat 1/2 a cup. I've never seen one spec of a leftover veggie or hay either. They scarf up everything. As a result, they also poop quite a bit more. I find that sweeping the cage is a twice a day job, and often fills my little mini dust pan with my two boars. Sigh. They also LOVE to snuggle in things, and so mine have lots of fleece pillows and sleeping bags around for snuggle time.
As for their skin, it's fairly low maintenance, more low maintenance than a long-haired pig, I would think. About every other week, I give them a rub down with coconut oil. That's it. They don't need bathed because they don't really get dirty, and soap would probably dry them out more than be a good thing. I use fleece bedding to make sure they don't have anything that could aggravate their skin. Even cleaning out anal sacs is easier because they don't get hair stuck up there... just poo and a little hay. I buy the softer second cut hay (or orchard grass sometimes) because they are more prone to getting their eyes poked because they don't have as much hair around their eyes to protect them. And I just make sure they have lots of ways to stay warm. If you are comfortable in a T-shirt, then so are they.
And get them checked out by a knowledgeable vet, because they do have a very small disposition to eye problems (early blindness mostly). But it's probably no more common than in normal piggies.
Hope that helped!
As for the boy/vs girl issue: I have two boars. They do stink a little more, if they are dragging their butt on things. I just make sure to not give them brand new fleece very often, and they don't do it much. I wash the new cage liners with the old ones once to get the smell on them, and they barely mark at all anymore. Cleaning out anal sacs in not a perk, but not a real deterrent either. I think boars are more fun, because they have a lot of personality. Females seem very laid back.
