PERUVIAN Cavy

PERUVIAN


Long hair growing towards the face (like a long haired abyssinian)

Wow Peruvian are beautiful! They dont even look all that much like cavies. look more like a yorkie imo

I have a long haired piggy, but I got him from the shelter and he has short hair the people that had him used to cut his hair I havent and my husband wants be to leave it long :D he says he'd like to have a long haired piggy. Their hair is very, very, very soft.

Yes Peruvians are very beautiful but require alot of grooming.. Here is one of my perus.. This is cherokee.. He is lilac, cream and white and very BIG at a little over 4lbs!! He is a big sweetie and very mellow compared to my two abys..

Beautiful hair and yes they need muc, much much more grooming than short haired piggies.

If I get to choose I defo want a peruvian cavy as one of the 3 cavies I adopt. I know it'll take more grooming care but I'm used to it with my other long haired pets.

They are very fun!! Its great to have a baby peru and watch him/her grow body and hair wise.. HA!!

They are cute! starlightcavies did you noticed your piggy is the Piggy of the month lol

Yeah I saw piggie of the month is cherokee but thought it was another piggie with the same name.. Do you let people vote or he just starting you guys out being new.. You should have people submit photos for each month and then let everyone vote at the end of each month.. Thanks for letting him be your first piggie of the month.. He is a real sweetie..

Yea, good point I will make a poll containing who should be the piggy of the month.

when sadie has her pups they will be part silkie and part peruvian. here's a pic of patrick the soon to be father

Cherokee is beautiful, and Patrick has wonderful coloring. I have short haired cavies, as my hands aren't good enough to do a lot of grooming. I love the look of the Peruvians, though, and am always glad to meet people who love and care for them.

They sure are beautiful I love their hair. I have a long haired piggy, but his previous owners used to cut his hair, but Im leaving it long. He has the softest hair I've ever touched in piggies. I will throw him pictures today with his new pillow

I had 2 peru girls. Their hairs were cut before I adopted them. I have a pic of them when their hair grew long. I trimmed them for the summer due to heat. But they were showables, retired and bred too.





CozyAnna is the black/white one, and Snowie is the brown/white one.
