I'm so happy to say Apple had twins. As I say. Because well they look exactly alike. They came out fri Colorado or tortoiseshell with white as people know. She had a girl name Luna. She took after her dad. The short American hair. And well the boy name Pegasus took after mommy. He's a Abyssinian and he has a crest on top of hes forehead. He is one of a king for sure. I don't know were that crested came from as my girl is a abby and dad is a short hair. And even there Colors are nothing like mom or dad.

Apple being a great mom. She's by her self with the twins. And she has taken great care of them. They eat like crazy. And the my girl Luna is getting fat like her dad. She's gonna be heavy. Lol. As from today that I weight them. They are Luna is 4.98oz n Pegasus is 4.86oz. I been weighting them daily and they are going up n up.

Apple gains weight also. But she goes up an down from 21.91oz to 20.93oz and stays there. So she is doing great. Thank God. This is her first and last pregnancy. So she better enjoy being a mom. =D
 
Congratulations on the new pups!

However, I do not believe that two non - crested guinea pigs can produce crested offspring! Therefore, evidently, the guinea pig you believe to be the sire of this litter, simply cannot be!
 
Aww hope mum and pups are doing well :) glad everything went well! Looking forward to seeing some pigtures soon!

My Apple only share a cage with my boy Ugo. 3 months before she got pregnant. And hes an American short silkie hair. Non of them have a crested. But her baby boy came out crest is different from my girl Lilly shes a coronet. But he definitely has a crest. I can only imagine that mom or dad had parents from different mix. As my new babies are a mix of a abby and a American. I will love to show pictures but my kindle won't allow it.
 
I do not wish to discuss the genetics involved!

However, if Apple does not have a crest, Ugo cannot possibly be the sire of this litter!

Therefore, I would imagine that Apple was caught before you purchased her!

There's a slight chance. That she could be pregnant before I bought her. She was with girls only. And I did took her to the vet. For a full check up. And no babies found then. But she did share a cage with Ugo and my other boy Penny. Penny is a Sheba mini yak. But they we're not together long. Since I was advice from you guys to separate them. So the dad is one of them. I can't tell by the Colors or looks. They came out tri-colors. And she had two babies. The girl is short hair and the boy is a abby like mom. I wish I could show you pictures. So you guys can tell me why he has that top part of hes head almost like a crest. Its not flat like my coronet girl. It looks like a crown almost. Its weird. Thanks.
