Several years ago I went to a Guinea pig show in Sydney ... just to see such a show, as in the past I had bought a couple to help my grand daughters understand and learn the responsibility of owning a pet ... There was this Amber coloured long hair one with a young teen girl who had a matching hair colour just like her "Winning Pig" ... it was adorable...
Very informative video with lots of cute piggies! Also fun fact, the agouti coloring gets its name from a genus of rodents called agoutis, which happen to be closely related to the caviidae family. They kind of look like long stretched out guinea pigs with that ticked coloration
@@transandpetsummm…. They have some similarities but Guinea pigs are more work and money but they’re definitely worth it, Guinea pigs also normally have more personality! ( I’ve owned both)
Lovely surprise to see my boys Noodle & Nimbus make the video 🥰. It was interesting to hear about the different breeds, I didn't realise that pigs can only come in 3 colours!
Omg I never heard of an agouti before and now I know my pig Jon is one and I would always discribe him as each individual hair having multiple colours on it!😅😂 🐹
I just got my first piggies a week ago! They're rescues and were super shy when they first came home barely coming out of the hidy. I've been binge watching your vids to make sure I can make them the happiest piggies after having such a ruff start to life with their previous owner. They have come so far already! I've seen them popcorning and they will actually let me hand feed them and sometimes pat them! After watching this I believe they must be closest to a tortoiseshell swiss and a brown and white sheltie agouti. Thank you so much for the help!
Great video Sarah, so lovely to see so many types of piglets! I'm so happy to hear Lyra is well again, good girl! I'm sure this video took a good while for you to prepare and it's really well done, thank you! 🐹
Very interesting video, Thank you! We've been trying to figure out what breeds our 3 guinea pigs are. Thanks to this video I'm pretty sure we have a Tricolor Coronet! Another is tricolor with patches of Agouti. Our third had me wondering if he is Satin or just has a very shiny coat.
Wow thank you for your videos but this one is fabulous. I had no idea there were so many different types. My boys Dash, WomWom, Stiles and Jasper couldn’t be more different. I will have to re-watch a few times to get their breeds sorted. Dash is orange and really curly but his brother WomWom looks like a Wombat hence the name. Again thank you and I am happy Lyra is feeling better. Christine from Australia.
Aw thank you for this video, I have two American short hard piggies 😊 I didn't know what breed they were before coming across your video. However one is black and brown with a small white patch in between its ears and the other is black and white with a small black patch in between its ears! Xx
Thank you for sharing this. I knew my ginger and white one was an American Shorthair, but thanks to you I now know my other one is a Crested Harlequin, black and tan, who has the most amazingly soft, shiny coat. Lots of wheeks from my boys. 🐹😁
I've always been wanting a video like this! I've done lots of my own research but every video I find tends to be incomplete. This was amazing! PS when you said a breed was recognised in Australia for a second I thought you meant you lived in Australia and I got extremely excited and went straight to your etsy shop haha 🐹
My breeds: American short-haired (crested) Toast Rough haired (Abyssian) Fairy Toast is a female crested American short-haired guinea pig who is one guinea pig, she is a solid color guinea who is a tanish color! Fairy is a abyssian piggy who has some fewer rosettes then I’ve seen, she has two colors, a solid white, and a little bit of brown patches around the eyes and maybe on the body.
🐹 Opps, forgot the animal icon requested already. I'm sure this one is close if not it. Haha. Thanks for sharing--appreciate the time and efforts put into making this clip to have available to us all : )
My boy that I got from Petco was a satin and they told me he was an American. But he was a a all black satin and ended up with cancer and his bones were brittle and his immune system couldn’t fight anything off so he ended up passing away. He was my whole world
thank you, i now know what what my two breeds my boys are, Australian Sheba Mini Yak self chocolate and a Bi Cloured Peruviian white and tan, its amazing how different their personalities are but they get along. thank you from Auastralia for your info x
Hi Sarah, love your videos. We have three piggies but I'm really struggling to figure out the breed of our third (Rocky). His face looks almost rat-like, without the smooth sculpted classic Capybara type nose. I think I almost saw one like him in this video. His colouring is also like none I've seen before... I'll get a picture to you so you can see what I mean... Kind regards, Col (with Lemmy, Sully & Rocky) x
We rescued two guinea pigs and it said both were boys and a week later we found out on got pregnant so we put them in separate cages one was albino and the dad was brown,tan bud black he had 0 white and the mom was the albino one. Me and my family went camping and when I came back she gave birth to 3 pigs and we didn’t think any survived. But I heard a little squeak so I lifted up her house and there was a little pig she was the only one to survive out of the 3 they came out a month late so I’m surprised any survived and she has black brown tan and white so she’s half calico and half albino which is really cool. Sadly both the parents passed away but the baby is now 3 years old and healthy
My Guinea pig is all black with a small bit of red over one eye, and a small spot of red on the back foot, what would her colour breed be classed as? She is a short hair American
I have 8 1 Peruvian - he looks like a little punk rocker 2 American short hair crested - she has orange on her nose and half her butt/1leg 3 American short hair bi-color - she has white brown and orange 4 dutch - may have some satin as her momma is next 5 satin/ American crested kinda - she is a shiny black piggie with a crest that has like 4 strands white and one foot has some white fur at the base 6 American short hair bi-color - as with 3 she is white brown and orange but her hair is a little longer 7 may be one of the foxes or agouti martins - she has a small bit of tan on her tummy but most of her fur is grey with a white patch around her back hip 8 agouti marin - she is the sister of 7 and has a dark brown base with specs of lighter brown
I just got Felix on Christmas Eve and of course he’s been pooping a lot. It’s good poop but this morning I saw some brownish like stuff up where his food is. It almost looked as if it was diarrhea. Is that possible
I've got 2 pigs and there both girls.The youngest is a fully black american breed and her older sis is a brown, white and a smidge of ginger is a teddy breed and they are both SO GOD DAMN FLUFFY and they become crack addicts on grass when we put them down on it
If not from a breeder, shiny coated pigs are unlikely to be pure-bed satins, however they could have some satin genes. They may be pre-disposed to some health problems however just continue to care for them in the same way you would all your piggies :)
Just wanted to say for most long haired piggies it is quite important to keep the hair around their sanitary areas short because it can mix with fecal material and matt if it gets to long
🐹 It was so interesting learning about guinea pig breeds and colors. Thank you for all the work you put into this video. How fun to see viewers' adorable and pretty piggies! Also, I'm so glad to hear Lyra is feeling better! 😊
I’m watching this while I’m at the vet waiting to see the Doc, your videos Always make me feel better! 🤗 Put your paws up if you’re a guinea pig😄 that’s what I say to my piggies when they get treats🤗 they get real loud it’s soo cute!
Your videos are so helpful♥ I had my first lap time today, and it was so rewarding! I have a dutch guinea pig named Winnie and a crested guinea pig Maisie. Your videos have helped me make my piggies so, very happy. Thank you!
What a great video! I have a beautiful herd of unwanted piggies (all adoptions of course!) and now I know what breeds they are - I have a swiss, two rexes, a ridgeback, a himalayan, a peruvian, a crested tri-color, and two abyssinians!
2:53 is my guinea pig Dasher! Thanks for adding her in💞I’m glad Lyra is feeling better☺️
Awww Dasher Is So Beautiful 🥰

Are they similar to degus?

@@transandpets no problem!! Feel free to ask any questions. I have years of experience with small animals
My Guinea pig is an American crest that has long hair. Luv your videos.

Haha yes I thought that when I was editing! Mmm desserts 🍨 😆
TYSM for sharing piggy life with us :-) Oh, and 🐹
Great to see all the types of piggies, thanks 🐹

🐹 This was very interesting. I am not a piggie owner, but rather someone who just loves them. Thank you for this information!
No problem Michael, glad you enjoyed!! 😀
Ah, I forgot to send in some pictures of my girls from a few years ago! I had some great pictures of my texel and merino together!

My Daisy Is a Ridgeback ❤️
This was a great video. 🐹
Where did you get your cage?
It is a DIY cage - I will have a video soon that goes into more details on how it is built 😊
I think i have a ridge back piggy! The other 1 i won is definitely abby because when i got her i could already tell shes super scruffy! :p
We rescued two guinea pigs and it said both were boys and a week later we found out on got pregnant so we put them in separate cages one was albino and the dad was brown,tan bud black he had 0 white and the mom was the albino one. Me and my family went camping and when I came back she gave birth to 3 pigs and we didn’t think any survived. But I heard a little squeak so I lifted up her house and there was a little pig she was the only one to survive out of the 3 they came out a month late so I’m surprised any survived and she has black brown tan and white so she’s half calico and half albino which is really cool. Sadly both the parents passed away but the baby is now 3 years old and healthy
I have two short haired 1 Abby and 1 crested mutt
i think mine are satin. but they are very healthy!
For Christmas I am getting a Abyssinian
🐹 wow ! Very helpfull
I’m in australia and own a few types including a sheba mini yak he looks like he has a bad hair day everyday
Ohh so I have a American piggy ty 😀
My Guinea pig is all black with a small bit of red over one eye, and a small spot of red on the back foot, what would her colour breed be classed as? She is a short hair American
Which one has the crest? The texel or the merino?
The Merino has the crest 😊🌻
My self piggy passed away yesterday her daughter is greaving how can I help her
My guinea pig is a abyssianian and Peruvian mix, his hair is not to long yet

I have 8
1 Peruvian - he looks like a little punk rocker
2 American short hair crested - she has orange on her nose and half her butt/1leg
3 American short hair bi-color - she has white brown and orange
4 dutch - may have some satin as her momma is next
5 satin/ American crested kinda - she is a shiny black piggie with a crest that has like 4 strands white and one foot has some white fur at the base
6 American short hair bi-color - as with 3 she is white brown and orange but her hair is a little longer
7 may be one of the foxes or agouti martins - she has a small bit of tan on her tummy but most of her fur is grey with a white patch around her back hip
8 agouti marin - she is the sister of 7 and has a dark brown base with specs of lighter brown
I just got Felix on Christmas Eve and of course he’s been pooping a lot. It’s good poop but this morning I saw some brownish like stuff up where his food is. It almost looked as if it was diarrhea. Is that possible
🐹 Thank you!
Hiya, one of mine is short haired but has longer hair on ears an bottom. Not sure what those is? Can you help please?
It's probable he/she has some sheltie genes if the hair is straight and smooth 😊
Hi, can i breed abby guinea with America guinea?
A really excellent introduction to guinea pig breeds! My favourite is the Peruvian although I don't have any at present.
Thank you I'm glad you thought so! 😀🌻
I have 2 abbys
Mine is a teddy guinea pig but I don't know my other ones breed
I've got skinny pigs sisters!
I've got 2 pigs and there both girls.The youngest is a fully black american breed and her older sis is a brown, white and a smidge of ginger is a teddy breed and they are both SO GOD DAMN FLUFFY and they become crack addicts on grass when we put them down on it
Wait wdym guinea pigs can’t have colors from the same group? My guinea pig is light brown and ginger
Since they are pets for a long time, can you talk about their history? :)
I think Cream is s Dalmatian piggie
I think my guinea pig is a american with tricolour with some agouti
so uh.... what do I do if I think my guinea pig is a satin breed?
If not from a breeder, shiny coated pigs are unlikely to be pure-bed satins, however they could have some satin genes. They may be pre-disposed to some health problems however just continue to care for them in the same way you would all your piggies :)
Still don’t know😢😅
Can u help me with my guinea pig
