Small animals such as guinea pigs need more thermal insulation than large animals, having a higher ratio of their body's surface area to volume. Hair is also protective, against the various scratches and abrasions which skin might otherwise suffer.

It is either due to stress but other wise, I don't have a clue. That is what happened to my guinea pig.
It's transforming into a human. Unfortunately, this is quite common and the human/guinea pig mix is very dangerous. Take cover while you can...it may be too late.
well if there is alot fallen out and a rash its a flea or something and you have to take to a vet
This could be good or bad some pigs dont have hair on there bellys at all. Others could mean they are pregnant or have a parasite.
They might have mites or a skin infection take them to your local vets to get some ointment or antiseptic cream
Aging
because they are getting old
guinea pigs are born with fur unless the are skinny guinea pigs ( breeds with no hair)
Guinea Pigs Malt because they are losing there hair for differant sesons. They lose there winter hair in sping/summer.
no
guinea pigs with long hair. they needed to be brushed every day
No. Most domestic guinea pigs have short hair and freeze to death in the cold.
First of all, guinea pigs don't have fur, they have hair. That is why they are used for testing cosmetics and hair products. As a guinea pigs ages, it's hair probably gets just a little lighter or darker. But that is only true with colored guinea pigs, not albinos.
I'm Laura and I own 14 guinea pigs and no a baby guinea pig cant have no hair baby guinea pigs get born with hair and everything (very unlike baby bunnies) so they can run and eat straight away when they are born they practically look like mini adults
they aren't. it depends... some pigs have alot of hair like guinea pigs and then barn pigs have thin hair that covers most of its body
guinea pigs wild or not can have any length of hair and any color depending on the breed.
Guinea pigs can lose fur for a variety of reasons, including stress, skin mites, or a fungal infection.
That depends on the parents. They can be a cross between the long and short hair. They can just be the short hair. They can be the long hair. It will just be a surprise there is no way to predict it.
because of all their natural hair
