I believe that everyone has more or less hairless dogs and hairless cats. Have you seen guinea pigs without hair ? Not much to say, let me show you the photos first~
Believe your eyes, this is a guinea pig, not a little hippo! It’s just that it’s not the fluffy guinea pig that we usually see. There is almost no hair on top and bottom of the body, only some hair is left on the mouth, nose, and legs.
The hairless guinea pig does not become like this because of hair loss or shaving. It is another breed of "Skinny Pig" (Skinny Pig) . The "hairless guinea pig" is a breed that was only cultivated for animal experiments in 1978, and is now used in dermatological research.
In addition to being used for research, hairless guinea pigs are popular in Canada, Europe, Russia and the United States and are kept as pets.
Hairless guinea pigs have a smooth appearance, with wrinkles in the neck and legs. There is not much difference in physiology from ordinary guinea pigs, just to maintain the body temperature, it can eat more.
Because there is no hair protection, their skin is prone to sunburn, injury and infection, so it is best to keep indoors and use blankets to keep warm.
This is the first time Guaibao has seen a hairless guinea pig (so outdated). It looks so naked. At first sight, he thought it was a little hippo, or everyone thinks it looks good. What kind of animal does it look like?
