Patch – Is a pure breed Coronet who's coming up for 3 months. We bought Patch from an award-winning breed and we were able to meet the Breeder and his parents, which is heaps better than purchasing from an unknown source at a pet shop. We bought him ultimately to be Humpy's friend and he's fully achieved that role. He's quite a nervy guinea but he has a lovely temperament. He and Humpy love chasing each other through their tube and loves jumping for joy.

He now is big enough to join his friend on the roof of their house and loves to stretch up to the very top of their haystack.

Patch has come from a winning breed and that does show as he grows into a bigger guinea. His coat is so soft and silky – his brown hair has a twist of orange through it, which is hugely unusual.
