As if guinea pigs weren't cute enough already!

Guinea pigs are complete darlings to keep as pets. They're lively and full-time entertaining. 

But what makes them even more adorable is their unique silky, shiny hair we could all be jealous of. It requires frequent brushing to prevent knots from forming in their fur. 

Here we have some totally captivating guineas with the most stylish hair-dos'. Do check these cuties out. You just can't resist them.

We have even added a short behind the scenes video of how those guineas are getting their hair done. 

Let's be honest with ourselves: guinea pigs could easily become the new cats of the Internet.

They're cute, fluffy, and heart-melting. 

Having been domesticated in South America for thousands of years, they're one of the longest-serving companions to humans and today are the pet of choice for many children and adults alike. With their soft squishy bodies, cute little ears, and their easy-going demeanor, if you're looking for a cuddly companion you can't go far wrong.

To keep the love of guinea pigs alive, Guinea Pig Appreciation Day, celebrated every year on July 16th,  is all about everything that we love about these cutesy critters that makes them great pets.

Last week, Maisie the guinea pig had an entire museum made for her by her creative owner, ShowMeYourKittehhs! The fantastic museum was named the Piggenheim and featured a lot of famous artworks in the form of guinea pigs. 

It was brilliant.

Hairless guinea pigs AKA Skinny pigs were developed in 1978 when scientists crossbred a haired guinea pig with a hairless guinea pig to create the ideal breed for a dermatology experiment. The result was a smushy creature just like Ludwik. Check out his adorable photos on Instagram. You won't regret it.
