Too cute! They look like they have some swirls, I would love to see more pigtures though as they get older!
Hi
Glad that all has gone well. They are very cute!
It's difficult to say yet, to be honest. There is a little rexoid in there but they may rather be a cross as the hair is more loosely wavy rather than tightly curled. You will have to wait a little to see what happens; the rate at which the hair is growing out over the coming weeks will show whether you have babies on the long-haired side or not.
Mixes can be full of surprises; it is what makes them so unique and fascinating.
Have a look at the little teddy newborn in my video guide for comparison. His two brothers are smooth-heired cresteds.

Here is a picture of my Triplet adoptees as babies at the rescue; the two lighter ones have teddy in them:
This is how they were looking when I adopted them at 8 weeks old:
I think you may be a bit more likely to end up with babies looking like Myfina, the larger ginger and white baby on the right, who was a cross of smooth/American and teddy (?) with a half-hearted aby rosette on her other side.
The tiny baby had stronger curls and more of a teddy inheritance; she is a cross between teddy (or something rexoid) and aby and at 8 years the only one still going although sadly pretty frail now. The third, black sister, is a smooth aby cross. Their highly pregnant mother in a very bad state was rescued from a 'sanctuary' that was breeding indiscriminately from rescued animals. It takes a whole lot for a guinea pig displaying three breeds on one body or getting three different breeds in a litter; normally it is just two breeds in play.
