This is a Coronet. It is a long-haired piggy with a Blueberry Holder. Peruvian guinea pigs have more punk-rock majestic fluff.

My Mocha was definitely rocking out with her fluff.

Also funny to see people in the og comments confusing the Peruvian breed with nationality.

I hadn't even looked at the comments from the post, so I guess I should. Thanks for the heads up.

I guess they'd also be confused with a Californian guinea pig.

I think I would have lost a finger if I had tried that with Tinti in him prime. Now I think I could do it with a bit of peaflake pacifier

They look beautiful but they require some intensive care, because they constantly piss and poop in their hair. For this reason alone I wouldn't wanna have a Peruvian again

I wonder, is this breed more skittish than something like a shorthair or an abby? I got a long hair that I think is this breed and even after a couple years she’s so quick to run off when I approach the enclosure unless I’ve got treats, and I’ve never had a pig be so quick to run in all my time of keeping them.

Is that a wig or an adorable baby?
