Teddy Bear Guinea Pigs: Great Coats!

Elisia Yun
The Teddy Bear Guinea Pig is known for its natural and beautiful coat. They are from South America, and are average sixed compared to other guinea pet pigs. They make wonderful pets because of their wonderful coats, and the fact that they are docile, and gentle creatures which are relatively quiet as well. They are easy to care for and maintain because they don't require a lot of space although you do have to be sure that they have had a good amount of exercise ever day. Also, they do not require a lot of grooming at all which makes them quite an easy to care for pet to have around!

Teddy Bear Guinea pigs have roman noses, and also firm bodies with a broad crown. They have broad shoulders, and are popular for their bright, round eyes which makes them look adorable. Their most popular and well-known feature is their coats which come in a variety of colors and style. Teddy Bear Guinea Pigs have short coats that are springy in texture meaning that you do not have to groom them as often. Their furs are usually around 3 quarters of an inch long, and they have long curly whiskers as well. Furs separate the Teddy Bear Guinea pigs into two different groups. One of them has harsh, short fur whereas the other one has plush soft fur.

Teddy Bear Guinea Pigs should be washed as little as possible because they are prone to dry skin problems. It is significant and important to care for their skin because ultimately it comes down to their health in general; also dry skin will affect the texture and the quality of their fur.

Feeding the Teddy Bear Guinea Pig is not too hard. Their diets are relatively inexpensive making them an easy breed to take care of, and won't make you broke at the same time. Generally, the Teddy Beat Guinea Pig will feed on simple diets; however, to combat dry skin, it is recommended that you feed them sunflower seeds, wheat germ, calf manna, oats or sweet feed twice every week. This will help take care of many health problems; thus, it is important to feed your Teddy Bear Guinea Pig well!

Many pet breeders will also choose to breed the Teddy Bear Guinea Pig because their coats are naturally pretty and healthy looking. Head and body shapes are generally what the breeders go after as the texture of the fur and the quality of it makes it hard to understand the whole fur concept. The coat of the Teddy Bear Guinea pig will look different, and have a different texture and feel to it overtime. However, by five to six months, the coat that they have then will generally be the coat that they will have when they reach their maturity, and the coat texture will not change.
