I know they shouldn't be fed other types of grain, I was just giving examples. But thanks about the hay. It's something about calcium right? Alfalf has more calcium?

So I'm participating in a cavy contest next month, and part of the contest is an "equipment and supplies identification" and the only details included are "including tools, grain, bedding etc." so I'd LOVE some help with any ideas on some supplies they might include. It's hard to think of things...

All the breeds in the US are based on fur type, so if you could describe their fur length, texture, rosettes, and such I'd be more than happy to! :)

Oh sorry, totally didn't see the second page, that pig just looks like a teddy, like they already said.

A roman nose does not effect the breed, that's just a specific characteristic that a lot of pigs have. And if it's extra shiny it's probably an American satin. If the fur feels a bit rough then it could be an American/teddy mix. The color is a Golden Solid but that is not rare and does not...

The breed is definitely an Abyssinian ( since she is still so young her hair might grow out if she's a mix with a long haired, but at the moment she just looks Abby). The variety is a red, chocolate, and white broken :)

I was leaning more towards Peruvian/American because on their own, Peruvians have a couple rosettes on their bum and a frontal (that spikey hair on the head), which seams to be what yours has. Abby/ Peruvians usually have a lot more rosettes.

Aww, thanks so much :D I enjoy doing it

Good to see you again too! He's definitely some sort of Peruvian mix. I'm thinking either Peruvian/American mix or even a Peruvian/Abby. The variety is Black and White broken :) I know you were interested in learning more about the breeds, and varieties, let me know if you have any questions! :)

Haha, oh cute xD nanny boars. Only time will tell with the baby, sometimes baby will go through an awkward "uglies" stage where their fur gets a little wacky.

Glad to know I've got a bit of a reputation xD The breed is an American Silkie mix. As a general note to everyone, the long hairs are pretty easy to tell apart. There are four (not including their satin versions) : Peruvian, Silkie, Coronet, and Texel. - Texels are obvious because they have...

Sorry if I'm getting back to anyone late, thanks for all the questions, I LOVE looking at your pigtures! :)

The breed is an American, the variety is most likely a Black and Cream Broken. There's a chance it's really a Chocolate and Cream Broken, but it might just be the lighting. Babies usually are born darker, so if her/his dark colored patches get lighter and more chocolate like with age, then it...

Have you clipped her hair at all? If you haven't clipped it, and thats the natural length, she would be an America/Silkie mix. The variety is a TSW or Tortoise Shell and White. Such a cute face! :)

Not quite sure what your asking ? I'm not very familiar with how the UK groups breeds and varieties and such, so if you have pictures I can really only tell you by American standards :( sorry.

The breed is an American, and the variety is a TSW or Tortoise Shell and White. :)

The breed is a Texel, and the variety is very unique! It's an REO or Red Eyed Orange. Very handsome! :)

Ok, so in the first picture the breed is American, and the variety is a Dilute Agouti. Dilute Agouti's vary, this one is specifically a "lemon agouti" which means it has a black base and cream tip to the hair. The little cream brindling isn't enough to constitute for it being a broken. The...

Pekoe is an Abyssinian for the breed, and a Cream for the variety. Cappuccino is an American for the breed and a Silver Agouti and White Broken for the variety. :)

The breed is a Teddy, the variety is TSW (or Tortoise Shell and White). :)
