Guinea Pigs : Guinea Pig Colours

Guinea Pig Colours

The 'original' colour of the Guinea Pig in the wild is agouti but as Guinea Pigs have been bred over the years a number of colour mutations have occurred. Additional colours can be created by combining different colour mutations. Colours can be combined with any coat pattern or coat type.

Agouti: The coat is brown ticked through with black hairs. The eyes are black and the ears are grey.

Black: The coat is jet black to the roots. The eyes are black and the ears are dark grey.

Chocolate Agouti: The coat is chocolate brown ticked with darker chocolate hairs. The eyes are dark brown, almost black and the ears are grey-brown.

Lilac Agouti: The coat is brown ticked with lighter ticking. The eyes are red and the ears are flesh coloured.

Silver Agouti: The coat is silver grey with black ticking. The eyes are black and the ears are grey.

Tortoiseshell: The coat is brown with red patches. The eyes are black and the ears are grey.
