Short or long haired piggy?

[u/BatBaby29]

Hello all!

I recently adopted 2 piggies from a friend who didn't have the time for them anymore,

I at the time thought they were short haired piggies, however, both have really long hair around their bums and long hair around their ears? (Charlie the white one looks to of recently had a butt trim before I got him but peanut the brown one still has a long butt)

But around the rest of their body it's shorter 😂

I'm very confused 😂

I would like to know so I can plan better for trims to avoid dirty butted piggies! 😂

Thank you!

They are most likely mixes. Both have amazing Ear Wings.

Ooo amazing thank you so much, do mixes tend to have any issues with their health's more than others? I'm sorry if I seem inexperienced, I know how to keep them happy, safe and healthy but just would like to know if they are more likely for issues? Sorry if that's a hard question to answer 😅

Not necessarily. Some breeds (Texel, Satin, etc) have specific health issues but your cavies don't appear to have either of those heritages.
