Can you spin Guinea Pig hair?

After doing some researching, apparently you can (but only certain long-haired breeds)! I'm not terribly keen on trying it (mainly because of the habitat that the guinea pigs live in. Even if you get them a plastic bathroom, they still poop all over their bedding).

Any-who, speaking of guinea pigs, I'd like to introduce you to a little guinea pig that we picked up from the store yesterday morning:

I wasn't able to get very good photos (she's a wriggly little pig), but she has a latte/squirrel coloring (it's a she, BTW :)). Her name is LaFawnduh (it's a movie reference. Watch Napoleon Dynamite and it will make more sense). I'm not entirely sure how old she is, but is a lot smaller than other two adult guinea pigs we have. Her fur/hair is super soft and kind of long(ish...). She's still a little scared of her new surroundings, but not as scared as the two parakeets that my sister adopted the day before (they're quiet right now, but I know that soon we won't be able to shut them up D:).




All of the photos above were taken with the flash off, JSYK ;)
