12 Guinea Pigs With The Most Majestic Hair

What do Rapunzel, Ariana Grande, and a guinea pig have in common? If you guessed hair, you are right. There are many species of guinea pigs, but Abyssinian, Peruvian, Coronet and Silkie guinea pigs are unique in their impressive, floor-length fur. These little creatures are beautiful to look at, but require a lot of care because of their unusual locks. Take a look at a few of these long-haired beauties.

It is easy to care for an Abyssinian. They require the same care as other guinea pigs, in terms of feeding, exercise and housing. You might find that they like to have more attention and get lonely and bored easily if there are no companions or petting owners around. They can also get moody and depressed if their basic needs for attention are not met, if their diet is boring, or if they are prevented from going outside regularly, and this will be obvious by their lack of enthusiasm and aversion to being petted. The best solution for this is to pay more attention to your Abyssinian and involve others in petting it too. Let it have another guinea pig companion to talk to and play with. Give your guinea pig more interesting things to eat and let it spend time outside every day. Guinea pig toys can also be useful, but petting and making life interesting works much better.
