Albino guinea pig or just regular white?

my female guinea pig is all white. eyes are pink and they are almost transparent. her fur isnt so soft like other guinea pig has, it feels like if its artifical fur. but she is cute. I was wondering is she is an albino or just white guinea pig?
Answers:
The first answerer is VERY wrong.
There is no such thing as an albino guinea pig.
Yes they do LOOK like albinos but they are not.. they are called Pink Eyed Whites.
She's an albino. White fur and pink eyes is ALWAYS albino.
No. There are no albino guinea pigs. Some pigs have red eyes, some have black. Some are completely white, some are multi colored. Different pigs have different textured hair as well.
She is a PEW. A Pink Eyed White.
Most white animals with red eyes are albino.
Probably albino. Are the guinea pig's ears a light pink? If so, then she probably is. My piggy's albino! Go piggies!
Also, many albino animal's fur will kind of darken to a yellowish brown that won't wash off.
There is no such thing as an albino guinea pig, they might just be white with pink eyes.
She has no problems eating or seeing I hope? White pigs with 'transparent' eyes could be lethal whites.
Shes albino.I have a albino one to, but mine is a boy. And im selling him and my other guinea pig.
idk about guinea pigs but the same rule may aply. i know that with rats, even if they are all white with pink eyes, they are probably not albino. i read that the onlt TRUE ALBINO rats are genetically modified one from some certain lab. all of the others are just called pink eyed white (PEW)
It's definatly albino.
Well judging by the way you describe her I'd say an Albino definatly the fur texture doesn't matter I had several coarse furred guinea pigs, it happens sometimes, but yes your bundle of fluffy joy is a precious and semi-rare albino.
if she has white fur and red eyes it is albino.
i disagree with the person who said that guinea pigs cant be albinos all living things can be an albino even flowers!
