whats the most comman colour of guinea pigs

4 of them are ginger with bit of white 1 is white with tiny bit of giinger and the others are other colours with bit of ginger on

and i have 1 what ia grey kinda of colour and i have never seen another that colour before
 
My boys are insane black, white and brown/ginger tri-colours so... ;D

Having looked at various guinea pig photos over time, ginger guinea pigs do seem somewhat common in colour.

But when I think 'guinea pig' I automatically think of like... A ginger and white Dutch. Not sure why.
 
Mmmm....not sure if there is one? Sometimes it seems to vary on the area you live in and which brreeder is supplying the pet shops ::) There seem to be an abundance of Torts and whites where we live.

Thinking about it brindle and black/ginger is pretty common :)

We only have one now, Duke, and he's tri coloured black, white and cream :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

All piggie are beautiful no matter what colour ahhhhhhhhh :-* :-* just love them all :-*
 
I have a golden agouti (?) i think thats how you spell it... and a tri colour

I agree glynis lol theyre all bootiful!
 
I don't think there is one. Red, black and white are the main dominant genes which is why a lot of pigs are one or all these colours. Agouti is also common (Wild piggies are agouti and all modern day colours have originated from agouti).

most piggies I have seen are mixed colour. But they all seem to have ginger in them.

Loads of them ginger/white, ginger/brown, or ginger/white/black.

ginger seems to be the most common colour to me.
 
Over the years I have seen many different coloured piggies. I have owned a right mix too no two have been the same. A list of what I can remember
Snoopy was a abby with agoutie brown face.
Wilber was Snoopy brother same colour but a smooth coat.
Woodstock white with a beige and grey face and a patch on her bum
Misty brown and black
Poppy black and white she was Snoopy and Misty baby along with Honey who was same markings as Poppy but brown.
The above piggies I had when I was a teen there was more but I cannot remember names and markings.
Snoopy2 was a agouti rex
Hamish is tri colour with a crest
Bumble is a silver agouti never had seen one like her before
Rimmer is a cream crested and I had never seen one like him. I fell in love with his mum when my friend showed me a picture last summer. In November my friend had a bit of a shock one morning her piggie had a baby as soon as I saw a picture I wanted him. He came all the way from Clacton and is huge at 16 weeks.
