This are my new pups. The other one I'm guessing is a mix. Her/his mom is an agouti mix.

RIGHT?! Super crazy!!! They're like Mini versions of them! Freya and Ikarus are a year old as of Thanksgiving last month :D
The do have 2 siblings, another male (brown and white) and a female (identical to Ikarus)
Sadly, their mom was accidentally made pregnant by Ikarus (mixed up with his twin) and she died after giving birth to 3 still borns :( Freya got pregnant by Ikarus too, but she had two healthy pups and is doing awesome :D Ikarus is sterile now :p

thank you :D yours are super cute too!!!! Babies are always so adorable and awkwardly disproportionate xD I love it!
yeah :( I kept in touch with Freya and Ikarus's previous owner and when I discovered Ikarus was in fact a boy, I contacted her and let her know that Elsa (their mom) was likely pregnant again. We got Freya and Ikarus when they were 6 months old, so it hadn't been very soon after Elsa had them, but I knew something was wrong with her when she didn't have her litter around the same time Freya had hers. it was heartbreaking :( We got to meet Elsa when we got Freya and Ikarus, the previous owner actually offered for us to have her too (later changed their mind for their 7 year old daughter), but yeah....it was really really sad :(

There's no such thing as a cowlick guinea pig. He's a crested American shorthair.
