The magpie guinea pig is a variety of guinea pig hair color and not a type of cavy.

This means that their hair can vary from being a smooth black and white coat to a teddy black and white coat.

They have patches of black and patches of white, and then parts where its coat is intertwined with black and white hairs.

Much like the harlequin guinea pig, the magpie has colors that are equally balanced on both sides of their body.

Their feet though can be any color.

Becuase the magpie variety represents their hair color, the magpie cavy is very much like any other guinea pig.

They will eat the same food, have the same vocalizations, sleep the same way and have very much the same behaviors as you would expect from any other guinea pig.

They are found in many different countries around the world and are bred by specialist breeders for their unique hair coloring.
