I are bald… 🙁

Celtic Realm was a Baldwin, one of the 2 species of hairless guinea pig. Baldwin’s are born fully haired and gradually lose their hair completely from weaning… A Skinny Pig is the other species… They are born with only a small amount of hair, normally on their nose and feet. They are very sweet animals but unfortunately in Australia, the breed is very weak and they rarely live past a couple of months.
The following picture is the skinny pig.

Dr Dibbles was kind enough to present to us one piece of work, consisting in a soft pink material, with a shiny look and very sensitive. That’s right, you guessed, it’s the tongue. Now… who’s next in this game? 😀
