Skinny pigs can have a bath, but it should be very gentle because they have bare skin.  The water should be warm but not hot and the shampoo should be mild (do not use human shampoo). I like "Mini Pig Shampoo" from Gorgeous Guineas ( www.gorgeousguineas.co.uk) because it is mild and gentle on skin. Use a clean soft towel to pat the skin dry afterwards (do not rub the skin). Skinny pigs do not need a regular bath unless they smell or their skin is irritated. I hope this helps. |

My advice as a previous Skinny Owner is that if you give your gal a bath is to be careful with the warmth of the water.
Skinny piggies can get really dry so after a bath you can give her a rub of baby oil to keep her soft and cuddly.
And as PigPog said don't rub her dry with a towel just pat her dry.
She´s just adorable by the way seen her pic around the board her and i just love her
