I have made a post about this piggie before she has bitten me multiple times and i got her from a home where she was neglected and most likely handled dangerously. I am at a loss again because she is a long hair pig so she needs to be groomed at some points and i haven’t been able to groom her...

Hi all, One of my short hairs moults more than my long hairs ever have all together. Seriously you stroke her and it all comes off in your hands. She has an endless supply of hairs :lol: Our fleece liners are always covered in her hair ingrained in the fibres. We use a brush to get off as...

I have a 5 month old boar and I am finding it really hard to care for his hair. (See pictures attached) He is a mix between a rex, teddy and swiss teddy, he has characteristics from each. His hair is very dense and almost sort of clumps together, his hair can be really soft but sometimes it’s...

One more thing, and sorry to be a pain, I know there are many others on here who also need help/advice about their piggies, not just me! 🙄 But, I'm just not sure again how long we should leave these two boys before trying to handle them, because Leo will probably need his hair brushing pretty...

I wouldn't buy any more until you see how often you need to change the cage and how quickly you do a wash change round. How long it takes to dry will depend on how you dry it, in my case it depends on the weather as I like to line dry, some sunny days with a breeze it dries in an hour . I don't...

What brand of brush is good for long haired-guinea pigs? The pet ones that I see all have tough bristles. Would I be able to get a baby one? I feel like those would be softer.

I feel like Misa and Gaia would be good friends. Misa is also a long-haired boss pig who is above such tedious maintenance as hair and nail trims and anything that is required to keep her from turning into a giant mass of matted, pee-covered hair. Any kind of maintenance with Misa requires at...

Hi, I'm thinking of adopting a long-haired guinea pig. As I only have experience with Americans and Abyssinians, I wanted to know what specific care this breed needs. I know they need their hair cut, but how often and how short? Also, do they need to be brushed daily? Are they prone to...

My guinea pig who was given to me as a female by a petstore turned out to be a boy (i think) after a month of having him, i searched how to sex a piggy and i saw his penis i guess. My piggy not later after that, had his balls a bit more swollen that usual. I brushed it off because it didnt seem...

It's hard to believe it's been 6 years already, almost to the day in fact. 20th March 2019 if I remember correctly, we brought you home. After the loss of Treacle, Ebony took being alone again very hard, but she was far too soft to be added to the big herd. So I went on a search to find some...

Hello, I have a Sheba mini yak or long haired Abyssinian which is not recognised as a Guinea pig breed but it’s a relatively known “breed”. She hates being touched. I try to brush her and she hates it when I brush her to fur but she doesn’t squeal. She just tries to wriggle away. When I get to...

First, if the hair around his bottom is getting matted at all then if would benefit from being cut off. Two of my boys also have this long ‘skirt’ that grows outwards and can drag on the floor. Popcorn is smooth but long haired, Wilbur is a teddy type. I have to cut the long hair at the end...

She is beautiful. You don’t bathe regularly - it isn’t good for their skin. I have a 6 year old boy who is long haired and he has only had one bum bath in his whole life (he ran through a pee puddle and made a mess of himself!). Only bathe is she is very dirty (ie not keeping herself clean)...

All you need is some scissors and a comb, there is no age set for the first hair cut. Trim your guinea pig once it seems to be getting a bit long. It depends on how fast his hair grows, but you should brush it every day, and trim about one a month. An Illustrated Guide to Hair Cutting

Welcome to the forum Some piggies are just more dramatic about things than others! I have a long haired and he hates being brushed so what I do is cut his hair short around his back legs, bottom and sides so that no hair drags on the ground. I find then that he doesn’t need to be routinely...

I use scissors for my long haired boys. I don't like to stress them out so I have never brushed their hair in the past. For cutting the bum hair, I use a tunnel shown below, so they can sit quietly while I cut the bum hair. I put a photo below, so I hope you find it useful.

Hi What a little cutie! He looks like a bit of a mix but has definitely rexoid hair. Please be aware that this hair type acts like a sponge for any pees, so it gets very stinky and very matted very quickly - much more so than with smooth long-haireds like shelties. I have made my experiences...

I'm pretty convinced that my newly adopted piggies have some kind of lice. They scratch a lot and sometimes bite their hairs, and I can see tiny whiteish things on their hairs, not moving but there's lots of them particularly around their bottoms. I put a brush through this hair on one of them...

One of my Guinea pigs has long hair and white, the back end (bum) all the fur is dirty and brown, Iv gave him a trim so it don’t get any more dirty (it started to knot their no matter how much i brushed him). Is it worth me bathing him as he’s still quite dirty or will it only upset him?

Thanks so much! Ill definitely give this a try
