When your guinea pig has clones!

[Freela]

We've had many pigs over the years, and most of them have had patchy or broken coats. We would sometimes see pigs who had similar colors and markings, but the markings were always distinct enough that we could tell that they were similar, but not the same. Misa, however, is an agouti sheltie, and occasionally I will be online and see pictures of pigs that are basically her exact double! It always gives me a weird moment when I see those doppelgangers out there in pictures... like, "Hey, how do you know Misa?" LOL! My daughter even found an artist in Japan who made a watercolour painting that is pretty much Misa! Does anyone else run into piggie clones online sometimes? Here are some examples.

This is Misa...


This is not Misa....

This is an artist's watercolour rendition of a Misa lookalike!

I have a torti tricolor with white (like a calico) and there are many more out there. Even with the same stripe down the nose. What distinguishes Chez is his small size.

I have a smooth tri colour, the local rescue had a piggy who looked exactly the same, with a very similar name. They also had a cream and tan Teddy who looked just like my Brillo. Brillo's face is also just like the piggy on the ASDA fabrics. There have been two Peruvians on the Forum who looked just like my Timmy, I haven't told him because they were both female!

Thea and @Adelyn's Stella could be twins.

Apparently Mischievous Master Boris is the double of @Sweet Potato 's Hugo.

 

[Sweet Potato]

He so is!

 

[Sweet Potato]

They've got the same little pink snoot and everything

I always think that my Bonny looks like one of Wrendale Design's guinea pigs.

They've got the same little pink snoot and everything

But do they have the same big pink unmentionables?

 

[Ramia]

Speaking of clones, I've noticed AI creates the torti tricolor pigs a lot like Chez. Seems like that's the most common type of pig AI does.

Yes but it seems he's a little more modest with it I can't find any bum pics on my phone

 

[Hannah_xx]

Erm slightly different but my parter always calls my Henry, ‘ Norbert. The angry beaver’

 

[Adelyn]

I’ve realized that Sunny looks like the magnet Small Pet Select sent me

 

[Ramia]

I have that magnet too!

My Tiggy ... Unfortunately she doesn't look quite as hairy at the moment moment as we're battling a fungal problem & Wendy keeps barbering Tiggys hair which doesn't help

Well I managed to fit in a little brushing session with Tiggy... Much to her disgust mind!
Congratulations if you can work out which is the front & which is the back end!

Any idea?

OK so the stylist is rubbish, but it must count for lockdown hair? ✂

Hmm slightly improved I guess?!

But Mum... I don't want the straighteners!

Yes please a cup of carrot juice if you're thinking of refreshments?

My puddle impression?

If you think it's gonna stay looking like this... You've got another thing coming!

The others got away light as they're short haired... Only poor Tiggy suffered my ghastly grooming skills!

... But she got extras of carrot, broccoli & carrot tops to make up for it

Grace & Dopple used to look like matching bookends too, Grace was a lot bigger though!

I had two girls Grace & Dopple they had similar markings, although Grace was about 3yrs older & more of a lardychunks than Dopple. Grace had settled into Miss chillout, cuddly piggy & Dopple was still doing zoomies & darting about trying to avoid cuddles!

Grace left, Dopple right.

Here's an old thread of other peoples pigs that looked similar x,
Forum *twins*

Last page of the twins thread post #72 grace and dopple are on too. Xx

Moses has a double in @RosieLily ’s Rosie.
They are both incredibly cute black teddies.



@JaseChase ‘s Tofu had a clone in my Phoebe too

 

[JaseChase]

I do love how similar Tofu and Phoebe are! Mirror twins. Phoebe was such a beautiful piggie
