I saw one of these for the first time this weekend when I was looking for rabbit food. It's a hairless Guini Pig. It was so cute.
Anyone else seen one of these and what did you think?

Yes, I've seen them before. There's actually two different breeds of hairless guinea pigs, rare breeds. One of them is born hairless, and the other is born with hair but looses all of it but a little on their head mere hours later. In Canada they call the one breed skinnies but I don't remember what the other names are.

You saw a "Skinny Pig". I have seen them, too!
Expect to pay a little more for them. In my area they're in the $50+ range while the regular cavies are only $15 or $25 at pet shops.

I've seen them. I love piggies so I think they're cute for piggies. My wife wouldn't let me get one, she thinks they're ugly. I have 5 piggies.
