my guinea pig is either a chinchilla or a silver agouti or cinnamon agouti , and white, she has Grey fur with a tint of gingery/beige, hairs are tipped with white, .. here's a few pics, she has a white ring round her eye like a fox guinea pig, similar to the chinchilla guinea pigs and she has a cream tummy,

any suggestions? xx

No she is definitely not a chinchilla, they are little fluffy things with tails :))

No seriously she is gorgeous but i have no idea about breeds.xx
 
Looks to me like a silver agouti and white, just like my Bentley pig ! He has a slightly creamy coloured tummy just because it should be white but gets dirty and no matter how many baths i try it just stays a dirty white colour (:

Just thought i'd add she has Brown/Grey ears, and her eyes are pink/mauve/olive and her root colour is Brown/cinnamon/grey she's a weird colour! almost a mink/Beige colour?

Thanks for the thoughts :)xx

Yeah, sounds about right, like my Bentley, he's a guinea pig rainbow :<>
 
Well, I've had plenty of agoutis in my time and the silver area is very, very like agouti colours, that sort of two-tone blend. You can also tell an agouti by her character - is she very stubborn/knows what she wants/bold? All mine have been the most in-your-face guineas I've ever had...perhaps that's why I always gravitate towards them!

THAT! describes her perfectly! she is the most stubborn little thing in the world!

when i go to get the guineas from their pen to put them back in their hutch, sweepea, will just sit in the corner, just out of reach, while the others happily come up to me to pick them up, she's not 'hiding away or anything, cause she's the soppiest thing in the world, but she knows if she sits in the corner, she'll get an extra 2/3 mins out on the grass while I'm sorting out the others!, and when I'm cleaning out the cages, she'll just lie down in the middle of the floor while I'm trying to sweep it out!, or sit on her food bowl just as I'm about to fill it up, or take it out!, she's a right little devious piglet!

Been looking at pictures of Cinnamon agouti's,- Very similar to swee'pea's coat! :)
