Ok, a crested guinea pig and, I'm guessing you are referring to an abyssian guinea pig (not a cat) CAN breed. They are NOT two different species of animals. They are different BREEDS. Both are guinea pigs, so they can breed. Think of a lab (dog) and a dachshund (dog)........they, too, are different BREEDS, but the same SPECIES (dog)......so, they can also breed.
no it just means that they're different breeds
not much, they're just 2 different breeds i guess
yes, there are many breeds of guinea pigs.
all guinea pigs are georgous. there should not be any preference. they are all different breeds but all similar.
You can easily tell what breed your guinea pig is by searching on the internet.

guinea pigs are born with fur unless the are skinny guinea pigs ( breeds with no hair)
Rabbit and guinea pig are rodents and both have furs but of different quality and coarseness. Actually Rabbits are lagomorphs and monophydants. The fur quality varies so greatly between different breeds of rabbits, just as it does between different breeds of guinea pigs.
There are 7 recognised breeds of guinea pig in the world, including the Abyssinian, Teddy, Peruvian, American, Silkie, Textel and the Coronet. Each of these breeds are recognised by breeders and shows world-wide... Other breeds inclue mutations of these guinea pigs, like the extremely rare hairless guinea pig. Found mostly only in America!
Sometimes rabbits will try and mate with guinea pigs no matter what sex they are. However the rabbit cannot impregnate the guinea pig because it is a different species.
A black guinea pig would have a black coat color, while a white guinea pig would have a white coat color. Color variation in guinea pigs is due to different alleles of the gene controlling coat color, resulting in different phenotypes.
Yes, most breeds have no hair on the ears.
