The long haired guinea pigs are called Abyssinian. They are known for their long and short, rough coat.
They are very furry and have loads of ruffles in their fur. They can be any normal colour.
No, they are warm blooded mammals with fur like rabbits and mice. They come in various varieties: long haired, smooth and abyssinian - where their longish fur splits in whorls: maybe one on their head and a couple on their bodies - like little whirlpools of fur - tho the rest of their bodies are still covered in fur too. The Abyssinian is particularly prized among guinea pig fanciers.
* the shopkeeper told me she had abyssinian fur but she never got rosettes. She was a sort of orangy colour with a white stripe down her nose. Her fur was quite rough, not smooth. If anyone knows what sort of guinea pig she was i'd be really grateful, thanks! :) she may have been a abysinnian cross breed, or just an abysinnian which lacks rosettes, did she have ridges in her fur at all? if you have a picture of her it would make identifying her breed easier, either way, hope this is some help :)
I have the same type of Guinea Pig. She too has a Mohawk. There are called Abyssinian Guinea Pigs.
If you look up genetics in BrainPop, it will show you. The guinea pig must have an ancestor that had rough skin.
NO they are animals that are not accurate on research.
If you are talking about breed of guinea pig, The best breed, In my personal experience would be the Abyssinian. They not only have a cute hair-do but they have a great personality and are really smart! The other breed of guinea pig that makes the best pet would also be the Teddy, although their fur can be a bit difficult to look after.
I don't think so. I have 6 abyssinian piggies and they never dug a tunnel before.
