Meet the 'skinny pig,' also called the 'house hippo'. They have been taking the
internet by storm. Technically, these adorable pocket-sized rodents are hairless
guinea pigs, but with their whiskery snouts, small folded ears, and gray leathery
looking skin, their resemblance to wild hippos is remarkable!
These hairless guinea pigs, known as 'skinny pigs,' are like having a mini hippo as a pet. The unique guinea pig breed does not grow hair on its body, and comes in various colors and patterns. They require special care due to their lack of protection, but are described by their owners as 'gentle and loving.' |
