Question
I got a male guinea pig for my birthday, he was black with half a white face
and
half a white tummy, he also had a white rosette on his forehead, i got him
when
he was 6-8 weeks old but now I've had him about a month he is growing
another
rosette!! Does this mean, over time he will be covered like an Abyssinian, or
are
Abyssinian pups born with their rosettes??
thanks!

Answer
Hi Megan

To be honest I am not 100% sure but it is my understanding that an abyssinian is born with all the curls. This is not an area of exertise for me though.
