Where do guinea pigs like to rubbed?

guinea pigs like to get rubbed in various places, it really depends on your guinea pig's personality but most guinea pigs love getting rubbed behind their ears and on the back. I think that's what you are asking. My guinea pigs love it when I rub them slowly behind their ears. They like to stretch and relax when I do it. They usually lay down when I do it and have this hazy face that has 'That Feels Good' written all over it. :P

Are there hypoallergenic guinea pigs?

both.actually, I'm pretty sure that they only have hair. the difference is that when there is fur on an animal, it sheds.---------------------------Scientific American published an interview in 2001, with an expert mammologist from the New York American Museum of Natural History, where the question of the difference between hair and fur was asked. The short answer is, "no difference"). It's very interesting, and can be found here:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-is-the-difference-beWhether it is referred to as "hair", or "fur"; how long it grows; and whether it ever stops growing, is based :- first on the species of mammal involved(for example, neck hair on horses, versus neck hair on cats)- then - if there are breeds of that mammal - on the breed(for example, the length of neck hair/fur on Siamese cats versus length of neck hair/fur on Persian cats, or length of neck hair/fur on Friesian or Andalusian horses , or Appaloosa horses )- and finally on the genetics of the individuals themselves.When, or if, the hair/fur in a certain area ever stops growing, depends on the type of hair/fur it is.Whether fur/hair is shed, depends on all of the above, as well.See also:What is the difference between hair and furAs to guinea pigs breeds specifically, guinea pigs have a very large variety of coat textures and lengths, including, but not limited to:- Abssynian - hair about an inch, and growing in swirls or cowlicks (the placement of these is critical in show guinea pigs)- Smooth Coat - short straight hair lying close to the body- Peruvian - very long straight hair, can fan out around the guinean pig for over a foot- Rex or Teddy - very short, kinky hair, looks like a brillo pad- Texel - long thick soft wavy hair in curls and ringlets 1-3" long- Satin - a variation on the other types - incredibly SHINY like it's been lacquered!There are many more official coat and breed varieties in guinea pigs!---------------------

Is a short hair guinea pig better than a long hair guinea pig?

It all depends on if you like brushing your guinea pig a lot. You see, long hair guinea pigs are harder to groom and their hair gets full of dust and bedding and gets kind of nasty. But, short hair guinea pigs have more trouble keeping themselves warm. So it depends on if you are a brusher or a cuddler. If you are both, then I suggest getting a long hair and a short hair to share a cage together.
