Skinny pigs water

[freespirit]

My Skinny pigs have been drinking a lot more then my other pigs. They where going made at the water the other day so i gave the bottle a squeeze. They sat under it and got all wet . I then put a small bowl of water in the cage and they climbed in and seemed to like it. Is it ok to let them have a soak under supervision . Also is it ok to use Sudacream on them when there skin gets dry

If they choose to get wet that's fine, warm water would be safer for them though - I would dry them off afterwards so they don't chill.

Most skinnies do not need moisturising unless their skin is dry, be sure to ex-foliate their skin as it can look dry when it is just dead skin cells that have not been shed. A small amount of sudocrem is ok, many skinny owners use a tiny bit of coconut oil instead.
