New Pot belly pig (w/pics) & questions if anyone can help

My white pbp needs sunscreen every day. If I don't he gets super dry. The sunscreen keeps him from burning and keeps him from flaking. I make it part of my morning barn chores, and he has been much more comfy since I did.

his skin looks a lot better now, though it's not all better we are keeping up on the oils for his skin and giving him a good rub down. I'm going to give him another bath and rub down tomorrow. As for the shade and water he has plenty of both! He has a tub he can fit in to lay/play in the water and a roof over the kennel he spends the hot part of the day in. Thank you all so much. I feel very lucky to have come across such a sweet little guy.

agree with the lotion and sun tan lotion
you may also want to brush the coat daily so it can stimulate the natural oils and get rid of that dead skin. usually use a baby shampoo to wash but you may need something with a moisturizer in it
