It's normal for some guinea pigs to have a red tint or red eyes. My male guinea pig is not albino, his eyes are brown but they have a red tint or in a certain lighting their red. But I see a lot of non-albino guinea pigs with red eyes, its normal.

Our guinea pig recently had 4 babies and three of them are fluffy with dark eyes but the other has short hair and red eyes why is his?

The guinea pig with short hair and red eyes likely carries a different set of genes compared to the other babies. The red eyes may indicate it carries the recessive gene for red-eye coloration, while the short hair is likely the result of a different genetic combination. Guinea pig genetics can be complex, so it's not uncommon to have variations in the same litter.


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.
