Redemption's hair

[Pat Shields]

Red's hair looks soft and fluffy, but it isn't. It is wiry and coarse and bristly. I said to heck with being allergic and rubbed my face against his coat to feel it, and I was surprised. It was like rubbing up against my friend's beard that you see above Red. If it is like this for all guinea pigs, it's no wonder they're heat intolerant.

With Pitch (RIP) our long haired piggie her hair was quite coarse also. Putt's fur our Abby's is so soft.
Our 2 short haired girls are different Treacle's is soft while Cookie's is wirey. I think piggies hair must vary even within one type of breed perhaps.

Maybe I should invesitgate and have to snuggle every piggie in the world to find out for sure.... *dreams*

I'm glad you answered; maybe this is something that everyone doesn't notice, but I noticed because the appearance of Red is so deceptive, and I was so amazed. It's like he is covered with a beard. Good luck in your snuggle investigation; I'm sure everyone on both sides of the snuggle will enjoy it!
