The detail
The Coronet is a long-haired guinea pig with a single crest, or rosette, on the forehead, and a coat that sweeps back like a Silkie's. It is gentle and attractive but carries the full grooming load of any long-haired cavy.
- Housing
- 7.5+ sq ft for a pair
What to weigh
Daily brushing and regular trims are not optional, and the crest collects debris. Care otherwise matches any guinea pig: a companion, space and daily vitamin C.
