Santa Barbara Skinny Pigs

What looks like a tiny hippopotamus and squeaks every time you open the refrigerator? It's a skinny pig! Guinea pigs of this special breed only have fur on their noses and the tops of their little Hobbit feet. Our herd is a rainbow of different coats and colors, and we sometimes have babies for sale. Check out our available piggies page, or learn more about this unique and special breed!

We have a photo book!

On the urging of my best friend, I put together a photo book with some of my favorite pictures of guinea pigs! Please go check it out on Amazon Kindle! It's only $3 and goes to help support all my beautiful piggies. :)

Did you know Santa Barbara Skinny Pigs actually loses money each year? This is a hobby we LOVE and we keep and breed skinny pigs and Baldwin guinea pigs to help improve the breed and help set people up with amazing family pets, but it costs us more to care for these little potatoes than we make from adoption fees. Now you can help support us and also buy guinea pig basics, accessories, and related items for people on Amazon.com with our new "influencer" storefront. Our List Ideas have links to all kinds of fun, cute and practical items for your piggies and yourself and we make a small amount of money any time you buy something through our shop front. Please check it out and consider helping us through purchases you were probably already going to make!
