She’s pink, she’s plump and she’s naked. With her multiple chins and fat rolls, Cupcake the hairless guinea pig is true to herself.

Cupcake was modeled after our own pet of the same name. Although dubbed as being hairless, these animals have a strip of hair on their face and also on the feet. They have a very high rate of metabolism and must eat frequently to maintain their body temperature. When the food bowl gets low, owners are usually alerted by loud wheeping. True to form, the crocheted Cupcake has an internal squeaker for emergency food alerts.

While the hairless guinea pigs have special needs; they make excellent pets and feel like velvet! As with any live animal, please carefully research their requirement prior to making a purchase. This crocheted Cupcake requires only a few hours of your time, has limited needs, and can delight young and old. (Due to small parts and glass components; Cupcake is best suited to adult collectors.)
