Lovely Breed - Anonymous,
Agouti guinea pigs are a distinct breed with a unique appearance. They make wonderful pets for those who are committed to their care. These guinea pigs are social animals and thrive with human interaction. You must ensure they have a suitable cage, balanced diet, and regular grooming which is essential for their well-being. Having a agouti guinea pig is a rewarding choice for responsible pet owners who appreciate their special traits and are willing to meet their needs, for that expect a awesome furry friend.
We have 2 sister Agouti. 5 months old - Holly,
We absolutely love our Agouti’s. We bought them from a pet store where the manager breeds them. They have become very tame since we brought them home at 8 weeks and they are litter/grass trained. (I can’t believe it?!) We noticed their ritual of fussing before toiletting by putting their faces towards their bottoms just before they went. So if we were holding them on our laps at the time or had them out on blankets, we would take them to their cage and wait for them to toilet and then pick them up for cuddles. They are now toilet trained and my daughter takes them to bed with her while she falls asleep and they wait to use their cage. Brilliant children’s pets if you have gentle children. Absolutely amazing!!! I had guinea pigs as a child, never had an agouti, but must say they are so friendly and amazing to have as pets. A lot more trainable than the guinea pigs I had. Their coats are just beautiful and their personalities match. They call out to us when we are in the kitchen or arriving home after a while of being out. They love their cage and enjoy being in their outdoor cage on the grass too. They are very neat little lawn mowers and love their oaten and Timothy hay. Favourite veg are carrots, capsicum, lettuce, cucumber and parsley. They love apple cores :) The main thing to watch out for are warm temperatures in Summer. Australian temperatures are very hot for little piggies.

Fantastic Guinea Pigs! - Katie's,
I have been breeding and keeping guinea pigs for nearly twenty years, I think they make fantastic pets with amazing personalities! This was before I had my first golden agouti boar Hector, and from this day I became adicted! Hector was robust, full of character and soft as soap. He lead me to branch out into perfecting a line of golden agoutis and a line of silver agoutis. I would recommend agouti cavies to anyone, they are nice big guinea pigs which I find gives children that little bit extra to hold onto. They are robust, strong and have lovely thick shiny coats. This colour is the closest to wild guinea pigs colouring, and they are full of vigure and solid structured. On the opposite side of the coin they are easy to tame and love attention and cuddles, I can't walk past mine without a chorus of squeeks for cabbage and attention. I have found mine have had long lives pushing seven and eight in some cases, and are very hardy to the elements. They make wonderful mothers, very caring and attentive. They simply are the best guinea pigs!
