The Difference Between "Skinny Pigs" & "Baldwin Guinea Pigs"

[child0of0satan]

Skinnies are bred in laboratory, albinos are used for skin research. they are a spontanous mutation bred in a lab. in Canada, the different colours are bred in by breeders.

less/less working hairshafts

Gen. code HRhr (like 2²)

Baldwins are a spontanous mutation from 2 solid golden-agoutis, who bred under care of owner Carol Miller. The hair starts falling out between 2days due to disfunct of hairshafts. and 1week. they have tiny a bit of hair on heels and have eyelashes.

The gen. code: hrhr

[buthe6]

fuck the baldwin love the the skinny pig

[CutieTheGP]

i think both guinea pigs with hair and no hair are the same coz bald people and peeps with hair still are the same

[ninnariaein]

the Baldwin ones are a little freaky to look at the first few times, especially for me because we have 4 absynians and a smooth hair xD

[lynnandian]

i like the first guinea pig you showed but not the second lol

[iKaveoProductions]

fuck them ugly bitches

[redwoodforesttwo]

Is the larger one a male? He did the courtship walk around the female. Lovely animals.

[BCT911]

ew ew ugly ..........

[wiseoldowlsayhoo]

so cute!

[noodlechild666]

Im not convinced by bald animals, be its guineas or mice or rats. The fur serves them a purpose, keeping them warm in the cooler weather, providing some protection from UV rays, providing nesting material for pregnant mothers. Seems a selfish human act to deliberately breed a bald animal just because we think it looks nice.

I imagine these guys cant go outside and enjoy the sunshine, for risk of getting burnt and skin cancer. My guys love to lie in the sun and feel the fresh air.

[orthiss]

@noodlechild666 they were genetically engineered for all kind of tests, cosmetic testing and such. that's what I read. and then they stopped.

@james your guinea pigs are wonderful and really sweet!

[turkey1126]

@noodlechild666 Its called sunscreen

[mrjojoua1430]

@noodlechild666 these wernt made for humans. they were actually made for lab testing.........

[SleeplessNightmares]

@noodlechild666 I got my Skinny from a lab by my school that was going to test on him if no one took him off their hands.

My little one loves the sun, but I give it to him in doses. They can go out side, provided there is always an option for shade, and if you watch them carefully.

If an owner who is experienced/knows what they're doing, they can live happy, joyful lives.

Of course, they are hypoallergenic as well. My boyfriend misses cuddling with my girls. When I got my skinny, he was so happy

[shandi2]

[spunkflunk]
