Guinea pigs are cuddly rodents, and they are probably the only kind of rodent that doesn't have a tail. they can be of all different colors besides pink, purple and blue, and they have ears like a mouse. they have 4 paws, and some have black eyes and some have red eyes, it depends on if it's albino or not. they have 4 teeth, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. they also have wiskers and cute little noses. full grown guinea pigs are about a foot long, and the largest guinea pig is the size of a football, and i must say, looks like one ;D

Wild guinea pigs look very similar to house guinea pigs. The best way to make this difference apparent is to go off actual pictures. To see what a wild guinea pig looks like please see "related links".

Calico guinea pigs usually are 2 or more colored guinea pigs. Since I don't know much about the Calico guineas, search " Calico Guinea Pigs " on Google Images.
