The colour of the eyes depend on the amount of pigmentation present on the iris. Guinea pigs that have red eyes have no pigementation on the iris. The red colour is the result of blood vessels which are present in the vascular layer of the eye.

Do all Himalayan guinea pigs have red eyes As i think the breed are extremely cute but am not to keen on the red eyes.?
The gene that controls the Himalayan trait in guinea pigs is recessive, similar to albinism. If you breed a Himalayan guinea pig to any other color of pig, none of the progeny will have the Himalayan phenotype (look Himalayan). To get a Himalayan you must breed to another Himalayan. Long story short; all Himalayans have red eyes.
