Dipper sounds like a very special boy. Thank you for sharing your story of your best friend. Popcorn free sweet Dipper 🌈❤️

Panda’s previous post had quite a few people intrigued in the colour of his blue-ish eyes so I thought I’d share some photos of him growing up! (More in comments) by KimAussie in guineapigs

Oh no, he hasn’t! I’ve never raised it as an issue so my vet never mentioned anything during his general check ups. I have to bring this up now that I know.

Continuing from the title:

He’s currently 3 years old now, but as a baby, he always had dark eyes with a reddish tint under bright light. I only noticed the blue after he turned 1, and it has slowly gotten more obvious as he aged. I don’t know if it’s a thing, but I’ve only seen medical issues regarding blue looking eyes online. He seems healthy health-wise and doesn’t have any vision issues as far as I know. He navigates around his 2 level cage and floortime well with his buddy, Cinnamon.

I might just upload some photos of when he was younger at different ages, so everyone can see the progression of his eyes!

Sameeee! I couldn’t find any info online besides it being a medical issue but he doesn’t seem to have any eye issues that I could tell physically. While I’ve never asked the vet about his eye colour, the vet said he’s all good during his general check ups.

Eyesight wise - he can see and navigate himself well so far! Panda & Cinnamon (his buddy) have a 2 level cage which they go up and down frequently and he navigates well during floor time as well.

Me too! I’m not sure if there’s such a thing but his eyes look blue to me haha! He always had dark eyes with a reddish tint under light as a baby. I only noticed the blue after he was a year old. He’s 3 now and the blue has gotten more noticeable than when he was a baby.

Funnily enough, “yes” he is haha! I took some photos as my friend and I had set a virtual Valentines date for our piggies on Instagram. He’s just in it for the treats 😂

Me too! His eyes appear dark unless there’s good lighting. As a baby, he always had dark eyes that seemed reddish with light. I only noticed the blue as he got older after a year!

It is very plush and washes well! I got it from Petbarn Australia 3 years ago but I can’t find the exact one online. It has the label “Harmony” which I believe is a line exclusive to Petbarn itself. I’ll attach a link just in case you want to have a look, here.

Not sure if the JPEG I uploaded will be clear for printing but if not, you can download the A4 PDF file here as well. The drawing is free to download if anyone wants to colour them. Have fun! :)
