Baldwin Babie Boy
Baldwin Guinea Pigs born with full hair like a regular guinea piggies but then they loose their hair and become completely bald. Baldwin Guinea Pigs start to loose their hair after 2nd day they born and by 2 months they become completely bald. First they loose their hair around the eye area then gradually they loose hair on their face and then gradually toward back. Some even become completely bold in 5 weeks of age.
(Notes on THERMOMETER)
When keeping skinny pigs, each cage or cage area should have a TEMPERATURE SENSING DEVICE like a THERMOMETER to measure and to show you the temperature of that particular area of the room. If you have a very very big room or a basement and then you have just one TEMPERATURE SENSING DEVICE LIKE A THERMOSTAT OR A THERMOMETER then one part of the room maybe cold and one part maybe hot; or one of the room in your basement might be cold. Then you have no way to tell the temperature of the "!cage area!" of that particular room. That is why in every cage or near every cage-area you need a THERMOMETER. Some times cold air or hot air might be coming into a particular part of the room and by having a THERMOMETER you can detect the TEMPERATURE VARIANCE in that room and take the necessary action to correct that. If you have one cage or several cages in "one area" then ""hang"" a TEMPERATURE SENSING DEVICE like a THERMOMETER in one of the cages in that particular areas.
The Skinny Pigs should be kept at room temperature between 18°C (64°F) to 25°C (77°F). Also it is very very important to keep a hiding place or a igloo for them to hide in. If its get cold they can go and hide inside the hiding place or igloo and create a warm temperature inside the igloo. Their body heat get circulated around, inside the igloo and they will keep warm. Otherwise it is equal to TORTURING these animals if you left them in the cold and they will eventually die. Never ever leave them in cold, they can't speak and they can't tell you it is cold. If it is cold for you without your clothes then it is cold for them as well.
Also remember they are small animals plus they don't have fat layers underneath their skin like humans do, so they will feel the cold more than us humans. Best to keep the room temperature at 23°C (73°F).
Also never leave them in direct sunlight or don't put any ultra violet lights because they will get skin burn. Keeping them in cold place or hot place equals to TORTURE. Imagine what it would be like if you are in some where without cloths in cold place or a hot place, as time goes on you will begin to feel week and get sick. Remember to close any open doors or ventilations from where cold or hot air might come and don't keep them near heaters or air conditioners. Don't leave them outside the house or in a garage, they are very sensitive to temperature since they don't have fur. I don't have a hiding place in any videos because I have took them out to video tape them otherwise they will go and hide inside and I can't video tape them.
AWW..So cute!! How come all your piggies squeak so much?

It is a old video, I gave all my piggies away except for one, I am keeping as pet his name is p-nut. If you take them away from their mother they will cry loud for their mother. If they with their mother they are very quiet.
