Happy Fancy Mouse & Rat Day, Piggies! 🐹 🤍 🤍 🤍 🐭 🐭 🐭 🐁 🐁 🐁 🧀 🥕

Guinea pigs may think they have the corner on fabulous fur, but their fancy little rodent cousins are giving them some stiff competition! Fancy rats and mice come dressed in an astonishing wardrobe of colours and patterns, from champagne, chocolate, cinnamon, blue, lilac, and silver to spotted, hooded, Siamese, and even Dalmatian! Sound familiar, piggies?

Many of these fashionable shades and patterns are found in guinea pigs, too! And when it comes to hairstyles, the competition is fierce: sleek satin coats, curly rex fur, and even hairless varieties are represented in both camps. Of course, guinea pigs can always bring out their magnificent Peruvian locks, wild Abyssinian rosettes, and luxurious coronets to impress the judges.

But while the mice and rats may have the advantage in tails, guinea pigs have one thing their fancy cousins can't match: a perfectly rounded, potato-shaped figure that never goes out of fashion! Fancy that!

Wheek! Wheek!
