They can have two or three different colors. Abyssinian - short, course hair that radiates from multiple centers on the body to form rosettes. Peruvian - long, silky hair up to 6 inches long and also known as angora or shelties. Guinea pigs can be trained. By leaving a pan of litter in the corners of the rooms where they are running around, you can train your guinea pig to use the pans instead of your carpet.
Guinea pigs have good eye sight.
Like other animals that have eyes on the sides of their head, guinea pigs have trouble gauging heights. Young guinea pigs may try to jump out of your hands, and that can lead to broken bones or internal injuries. And, you should never leave your guinea pig unsupervised on a tabletop or other surface with an abrupt edge. Young guinea pigs, however, will pee wherever they happen to be sitting. Guinea pigs don't normally bite.
