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.

The personality of the Abyssinian guinea pig is also different than other guinea pigs—they are bolder, quirkier, louder, livelier, more playful and more intense, hence they make great pets. Owning an Abyssinian guinea pig as a pet is a wonderful bonding experience for both adults and children—they are cute and interesting and require far less cleaning, but just as much love. Abyssinians are happiest when they have other guinea pig companions, attentive owners, regular outdoor time, activity (that's why they are good with children) and some variation in routine.
