Guinea Pig Breeds
Various guinea pig breeds are commonly referred to as rodents; a baby can fit comfortably into a palm.
There are several types of these animals. Shorthair rodents have the easiest hair to care for, because their coat is non-mating and naturally repels dirt. These animals’ hair measures 1 inch or less and lays flat. Abyssinians have fur that is 2 inches in length and forms rosettes on the body. Silkies or “Shelties” have a long, soft, silky hair which grows 8-10 inches in length. They have to be groomed frequently. Teddy Bears’ or “teddy’s” coat is wiry, short and easy to care for. It is necessary to brush Teddy Bears regularly to keep the coat clean.
