My Pets: Pixie

Name: Pixie

Animal: Guinea Pig

Colour: Black/dark brown and white

Size: Medium size for a guinea pig

Breed: Short Haired Dutch

Gender: Female

Birthday: 14^th January 2009

Pixie, along with her ‘sisters’ Hazel and Orchid were the first guinea pigs that I got of my own. Out of the three of them, Pixie is the shyest and easily the quietest, but is also the gentlest and calmest.

Pixie often comes out for floor time with Orchid, Hazel, Aurea, Gerty, Charcoal, Star and Velvet.

She is believed to be a chocolate dutch guinea pig and therefore has a black/dark brown head, with a white area going from the top of her head to her nose and getting wider as it goes down. She then has a white band around her middle and a black/dark brown rump. The dutch breed of guinea pig has the same coloured markings as a dutch rabbit would have.
