Do Skinny Pigs Smell Bad?
This is a question I get alot. Skinny pigs do not smell any worse than a normal guinea pig and some people think they smell better. I believe this idea got started from the fact that skinny pigs have a faster metabolism than a normal guinea pig do to their lack of hair. This means that they must eat alot more than a normal guinea pig to keep their little hairless body’s warm. As you can guess eating more means pooping more and I do recommend cleaning a skinny pigs cage twice a week instead of the once weekly clean needed for furry guinea pigs. But if you keep up with the cage cleaning then no, they do not smell.
