Since all the breed threads seem to be past their prime I had to start another.
Ginger and Checkers have two new additions to the herd and they would like to know what they are besides young annoying whippersnappers. I'm sure they will have more to say about that later.
Here is Coco;

This one started out as Snow. But after repeated and insistent requests for the name Squeak, we relented and now call her Squeak. Though for some reason she is still requesting the name;

They both look like American guinea pigs, aka a standard short smooth coat.

For coat colours Coco looks like a tri-colour, a chocolate, white, and red? or gold? tri-colour. I'm not certain of the exact red shade.

Squeak looks like a white and perhaps cream agouti.

On a side note is Squeak pregnant?

Thanks, I don't think she is pregnant (we have all girls), but I'll keep an eye on her she does look a bit puffy at times.

What gorgeous piggies!!! I love their colors.

Their breed is both American... Coco has what looks like a Harlequin mix pattern, with roan (I think chocolate roan) coloring. You hardly ever see roans! And snowy Squeak has a Dalmatian mix pattern with silver agouti coloring :love:

This link shows all the roans and agoutis really well for comparing your piggies to: (broken link removed)
