erect ears

[FONT=Arial][FONT=&quot]My guinea pigs’ ears are raised? Why? Are they mongrels? I’ve seen different pictures of guinea pig on the web and I noticed that their ears hang down.[/FONT][/FONT]

Mongrels? Pretty much all guineas are mixed breeds. Not really the correct word.

Our 5 guineas all have various different ear types:

Davina's ears stick out like a mouse: Guinea Gallery!

Whereas Mo in the centre here has ears which are close to her head but point backwards: Guinea Gallery!

Twitch's ears flop forward:
Guinea Gallery!

Its all just natural variation.
