Texel

The Texel guinea pig is a charming and distinctive breed known for its luxurious, long, and curly coat, making it a favorite among guinea pig enthusiasts and show-goers. This unique breed originated from a cross between the Rex and Silkie guinea pigs, resulting in its signature soft, flowing curls that require regular grooming to maintain its beauty and prevent matting. The Texel's coat tends to grow in tight curls all over its body, including its cheeks, giving it an adorably plush appearance. Besides their striking looks, Texel guinea pigs have delightful personalities, being both curious and social. They thrive in environments where they receive ample attention and interaction from their owners. Overall, the Texel is a wonderful pet choice for those willing to commit to its grooming needs and who appreciate its gentle, affectionate nature.
