What type of Guinea Pig is this? (Pic included)?
Hello, about 2 weeks ago my finace's Guinea pig had 3 babies. The mom is an Abyssinian Guinea pig and so is the father.
One of the babies is obviously an Abyssinian and he has many rossettes throughout his fur. I have 2 Abyssinian pigs so I know what an Abyssinian looks like.
The other two babies fur looks like they have had a perm. They are curly and its starting to get really fluffly along with curly.. So my question is what kind of guinea pig are they? I have a picture of the female I'm going to keep:

I think it's a Teddy guinea pig. I've never seen a guinea pig with this coat before. Its beginning to amaze me. I really have a strong feeling it's a Teddy. It's such a cutie, you are so lucky.

This is called a teddy because the abysinian has rosettes in rowns down the back of the guinea pig.
How adorable! That looks like it might be a Texel.

They could also be a cross with Teddy guinea pigs. Maybe the grandparents were.
