Very hairless Skinny Pig
Fuzzy Skinny Pig
Skinny Pigs are the first hairless variety guinea pig mutation breed that
are most commonly known. They have wiry fuzzy frizzy hairs on their
heads, nose, and feet. Some can have more hair on their backs, and
anywhere else on their bodies. Their hairlessness varies and range from
very hairless to fuzzy. They also shed during certain times of the year.
They are always born hairless and stay like this.
Skinny pigs and baldwin guinea pigs seem to be the consequence of
different separate recessive mutations in one gene each so the conditions
only occurs in the homozygous state. The skinny and baldwin genes do not
appear to be related to each other at all and they do not go together.
When you breed a skinny pig to a baldwin you will only produce haired
babies in the first generation, so they are defiantly genetically different
from one another.
The skinny pigs have a velvety soft texture to their skin when you touch
them.
When Breeding Skinny Pigs:
Skinny Pig X Skinny Pig
When you breed two Skinny Pigs together, 100% of their babies will all be
Skinny Pigs and hairless.
Skinny Pig X Skinny Pig Gene Carrier
There is a 50-75% or about half chance that the babies bred by a Skinny
Pig and a haired Skinny pig gene carrier, will have hairless Skinny pig
babies. The rest of the babies will just be skinny pig gene carriers.
Skinny Pig Gene Carrier X Skinny Pig Gene Carrier
There is only a 25% chance that 1 or so hairless skinny babies will be born
in these litters.
Skinny Pig X Regular haired breed guinea pig(not a gene carrier of
skinny)
None of them will be a hairless skinny pig. There is a chance that most of
the babies will be haired Skinny Pig gene carriers which can then be bred
back to the Skinny Pig.
Skinny Pig Gene Carrier X Regular haired breed guinea pig(not a
gene carrier of skinny)
There is no chance a Skinny Pig pup will be born from a Skinny Pig gene
Carrier bred to a regular haired guinea pig(not a gene carrier).
Skinny Pig X Baldwin(breeding not recommend)
None of the babies will be hairless like the Skinny Pigs and or Baldwins.
They will all have hair and look like a regular haired guinea pig, but 50% of
the babies will carry either the gene for Skinny Pigs or Baldwins and you
won't know which ones they are.
Hairlessness varies with the Skinny Pigs depending on their parent's lines
and genetics. You won't know which babies are the true Skinny Pig gene
carriers until you breed them. It takes several generations to have very
hairless skinny pigs in your lines. When you first breed them from the
carriers/regular haired pigs most of the babies will be hairy hairless skinny
pigs with fuzz. It is best to work with the best strong very hairless lines out
there so that you can produce very hairless hardy Skinnies.
