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.
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.
It means your guinea pig is dirty. Give it a bath with special guinea pig shampoo. It gets rid of dandruff and it cleans all the dirt off too. Don't give your guinea pig a bath too much otherwise its skin will go all flakey and yucky. Give it a bath every 2 - 3 weeks depending on how dirty it is. If your guinea pig gets dirty a lot, clean its cage.
My Guinea pig is also losing fur but they shed their fur so they can grow their winter coat. they start sheeding during the summer season (at the end of summer begining of fall). They will keep shedding though, so you do not have to worry about anything its all natural.
It is spelled "guinea pig". You got it right! :)
They can, but they shouldn't. If your guinea pig hay has ants coming out of it, it's long past time to change the hay.
it's horny.
yes
An abyssinian guinea pig has Rossets in its fur such as the images below:
because the little guinea pig likes the older one
when your guinea pig has a sign of thinning fur or bald patches or a wet nostrils.
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.
as guinea pigs grow older they usually change colours because their skin and fur stretches. it is perfectly normal
A smooth haired guinea pig is called an abyssian and the curls on the guinea pig are called rosettes.
yes they are the only rodent that is born with fur
Hello i have a abyssinian guinea pig and there fur are the softest ever ! They are very socialable piggies and love attention they are very soft and are not there fur is certainly not rough ! Good Luck in the future with your pigs if
Um well... they can be any colour they dont have paticullar colours for the sex.
The genotype of the guinea pig with black fur is expressed as (B) because it represents the dominant allele for fur color. In genetic notation, uppercase letters indicate dominant traits, while lowercase letters represent recessive traits. Since black fur is a dominant characteristic, the presence of at least one (B) allele will result in the expression of that trait, regardless of the other allele's state. Thus, a guinea pig with the genotype (BB) or (Bb) will both display black fur.
