[donna265]

Hi all
just wondered if anyone could help me find out what 'kind' of guineas i have?
they're brothers but look sooooooooo different!
hopefully i have attached their pics properly so yu can see for yourselves! :-)
thanks in advance x

Other than that, I don't know, sorry

lol

thanks from me, Edward and Jacob ! x

 

[aalur]

Oooh! great names

 

[Rachel WD]

I'd have said the darker of the two is a smooth (or even a satin coated) and the lighter an abyssinian ? Cute boys (and names) they look so small

 

[Linny pop]

ah they are so gorgeous, especially the little abby(i got a soft spot for abbys) The names are great too, Jacob is my little lads name so I love that!

the darker of the two is a black & gold smoothcoat x
and the lighter looks to be a gold and gold agouti aby x

this is my satin Simba, the difference is easy to see in person, Satins aren't terribly common, they also tend to be small compared to other pigs and can have some health issues, in photos it can be hard to tell the differencehere is simba compared with another of my own pigs who is most probably just very shiney

Simba

and a non satin

either way your piggies are beautiful no matter what they are xx

Aw thanks guys

i have only had them 10 days now and absolutely besotted with them
they spend their days bouncing up and down or scampering into their bed lol

ive stopped watching tv lol they're so much more entertaining! can't wait til they get used to me so i can have cuddles (still very nervous but getting better as time goes on)

named them Edward and Jacob after seeing the new eclipse film

Donna, Jacob and Edward x

Hello,

The left one is American Guinea Pig, commonly known as short-haired. The other pig is definitely an Abyssinian as I have one too.

ohhhh can any1one tell me what mine are too?

thanks


timmy is the multi colour with crown
and sunny is the sandy colour

 

[Rachel WD]

I would say Timmy is tri- coloured crested and sunny is possibly buff or golden crested.

I could be wrong about the colours

 

[CavyWonders]

the colours of thoese two look like a dark cream and the one of the left has some agouti in him.
The 2 pigs on the first page are an abyssinian cross, colour golden agouti and the smooth one is as has been said black with hints of golden. In the UK he is just known as a smooth haired.
All very pretty boys

Other than that, I don't know, sorry

LOL I have to second that!
