Rex guinea pigs are a popular breed, slightly resembling a hedgehog in their appearance. They’re the proud owners of a short, thick, and coarse coat that can come in a variety of colours. They make super popular pets, especially in households with young children. These guinea pigs possess an innately calm and kind nature, which makes them ideal pets for little ones. Plus, they’re generally easy to care for as they have short-haired coats which are low-maintenance. They can be brushed with gentle strokes using a soft bristle brush, and they only require a full bath twice or three times per year. So, these guinea pigs are far from demanding! Rexs have an average life expectancy of roughly 6 years.

Due to the fast turnonver of these pets, it is difficult to provide the exact date of birth.

The babies are mostly in between 7-11 Weeks of Age.
