Newborn piggies

Question
Hello, we recently aquired two guinea pigs and were told they were both females and planned to house them together.  No sooner did we get them home but they started mating needless to say the person we got them from did not know how to sex them properly.  I don't know much about breeding because we weren't planning to breed.  We now have two babies.  I have removed daddy from the cage.  One of the piggies is all white with brown eyes.  Is this normal?  Both the mother and father are red piggies.  Please help with any other advise on caring for newborn piggies.  Thanks!
