Skinnies are generally as healthy and fit as any other GP and require just
about the same care - roomy cage, good quality food, continuous supply of
fresh clean water, clean bedding etc. Because of the lack of coat, you do
need to be more careful about temperature control and drafts and very
careful about sun exposure if you take them out to graze.
