Long Hair Unexpected!

I am posting a few pics of my guinea pigs.
The first one is the mommy...


and the following are of Marshmallow (one of her babies) now 2 1/2 months old...






Why does Marshmallow and her brother Cocoa have long hair on their head and bottom? Mom doesn't!

And their hair is a completely different texture than mom's too! Their hair is almost the same feeling as an angora sweater. It is soooo soft!

Does that happen from mix breeding, or what?

I am just curious! If anyone has any idea why they are so different, please let me know!
