I can't see the pictures very well, but by your description, the piggert with the rosette on the head sounds like a Crested and Poppy seems to be an Abyssinian.

Re: HELP.?!?!?!?!

The different forms of Cresteds are just color varieties, I believe. The color varieties for Cresteds really confuse me at times, so I couldn't tell you.

Maybe it's a self crested, being that the crest is the same color as the rest of the coat? But, there's that one patch of white and I'm not sure of Self Crested guinea pigs have to be entirely one color. (A Self Crested is like a color pattern of a Crested) My best guess is Self Crested or just Crested (without any specific pattern).

Now that I'm typing it, I'm think it's actually just a Crested. :eek:

I hope I helped out some!
