So I was just doing some research on the forum when I come across a sticky thread that talked about guinea pig eyes. It said how there can be dark, red, ruby, and blue eyes. This caught me by surprise because I actually had never known that guinea pigs could have blue eyes. It said that is it very rare. So I took my piggies out for playtime when I realized that my guinea pig, Dipper, had a bluish grayish tint in his eyes. Am I dreaming? They had always looked dark to me but now that I see it it might be true.
 
I've never seen a blue eyed guinea pig before, usually white or light guinea pigs have red or ruby eyes. It's hard to tell from your photo but the only reason I know of for grey/white/bluish opaque areas in the centre of the eyes is cataracts but that is also hard to tell from your picture....

Sorry I can't be more help than that!
 
Sasspy one of our piggies has one blue eye!
 
I,m sure l had a pig many years ago that had one dark blue eye and one lighter colerd
His nick name if l am not mistaken was "bowy" after that silly pop singer of the 70s
 
I think it usually comes with white markings, like the white Overo gene in horses? I could be wrong there though, because pigs are nothing like horses hehe!
 
:hmm:Two things spring 2 mind, they are both poo machines, and thy can be stoborn ,
I had an arab gelding (oliy) that was sooooo tempremental , l swear he knew what l was thinking , :bronco:he was so tempremental the feuea had to tweek his nose to get shoes on him

Wow that was a wile ago

Wow! I guess blue-eyed piggies are more common than I thought! From all of the pictures I see online of pigs with blue eyes, most to almost all of them are white. Like Simon'n'Joe said, maybe it's just a gene that only piggies with a white fur coloring have. I am pretty sure that my piggie has one blue eye and one dark eye, and he is a white fur coloring.
 
My Corey who had the blue eyes was white but also with other colours too. He wasn't all white.

Yet this is his other side of him

My Peep has very blue eye "whites", but her actual iris is dark.
 
Here's a pic of his other side; I am pretty sure that this eye isn't blue and only the other one is:

Yes, Peep's eyes are exactly the same as Dipper's blue eye! Her sister's eyes are both like the other eye of Dipper's; no blue!
 
I have an aby piggy who has one blue eye on the white side of her face :D The other side is brown so she has a brown eye that side. Hence her name is Ziggy ;)
