It's a genetic problem carried by the genes for specific color patterns (roan and dalmatian). Lethal whites are blind and deaf, they have problems with their teeth, and they often have other health problems. Most white guinea pigs with pink eyes are not lethals, though. Blancanieves looks like my white piggy. (Approved: 2010/06/09) “Lethal whites” also occur in guinea pigs. It’s a genetic problem carried by the genes for specific color patterns (roan and dalmatian).
