Yes if they aren’t cleaned often enough, then that will be the reason for the smell. Hemp litter and hay is fine to use as bedding but when wet will start to smell. My boys are on a similar disposable bedding topped with hay and I remove wet hay and bedding every day, and then fully clean out...

Hi and welcome It is great that you are doing your research beforehand. Please take the time to read our excellent guides with all the little practical how-to advice and in-depth information; you will find them very helpful because we cannot repeat all the details in every single post; that...

Hi Please don't use spray conditioner. It is not suitable for use on guinea pigs. For hair shampoo with a guinea pig ph, the shampoo from Wee Companions Rescue in San Diego (available from their online shop), would be best; otherwise, plain water will often do better than any baby shampoo. Wee...

It's not quite the same, but we have an elderly, long-haired cat who is... not keen on brushing. When she was younger she just looked a bit scruffy sometimes, otherwise keeping herself in good nick between the odd brush; now she's an old girl it causes her problems incredibly fast sometimes. As...

Hello friends! I sent a post a while ago about my long haired piggy nutmeg and her matted fur. I have tried everything!the dr at the back of her bum is started to be pulled out when she gets caught on toys and I can imagine it pains her. I've tried to brush the clumps out and she won't let me...

You usually can get away with bum baths and some judicial hair cutting around the bum end, even for long-haired piggies. Most piggies hate bathing and some can freak out badly and blind jump. Unless there is a real medical reason (ringworm) or some real messing/filthing up, we do not recommend...

We don't brush... but it grows like you wouldn't believe and she gets a cut every couple of months. When it's short I see her groom but as it gets longer she doesn't seem to bother apart from a good scratch every now and again! Her tummy hair is not so long and very soft - I leave this on if...

Okay David, I don't like objectifying females but for you... Sod it. Here you go pal,fill your boots It's KYLIE

Most long haired piggies will require a certain level of maintenance - keeping hair knot free, and trimmed particularly around the back end so to not drag on the ground

She has quite long fluffy hair on she has quite long hair on her sides

My current long haired piggy is my second long haired piggy. The first was half Peruvian, so long haired but not trailing to the floor. Her hair was super fine, silky smooth, and ultra soft (our little cloud). I had a comb that had two different style of teeth, wider set on one end and very fine...

Hi everyone! I have 2 beautiful girlies! One is a long haired guinea pig and the other is a short haired guinea pig! Caring for my short haired guinea pig (brushing) is very easy, but my long haired pig gets matts of wood shaving and dropping all in her fur and near her bum! She won’t let me cut...

Hi and welcome The fight against ringworm is majorly a hygiene battle to get on top of any acute spores which are invisibly tiny, very long-lived (up to over 2 years), species jumping and highly contagious to all mammals (including humans) and reptiles. The more you can get on top of the shed...

So as we have mentioned on your other thread, the mites will not be in your hair, carpets, clothes etc. They only want the piggies, nothing else. I would do the third treatment and if you are still worried, book an appointment for the week after and have them checked to make sure there aren’t...

Twins - Tiggy & Posh are a bit different then, Tiggy doesn't 'do' nail trims without a fight! She isn't so keen on brushing & baths... But the blow dry is her idea of bliss :love: (oddly enough happy for me to brush & blow her wet hair dry, but not brush the dry hair). Would Posh give Tiggy...

Does anyone have an tips on grooming long haired piggies, particular of you have a Texel/ Lunkarya type piggie, I have brushed pepper since we have had him but he is getting more and more uncooperative and I am worried about his coat getting matted. Here is his coat for reference!

I'm not sure what went on last night with 2 of my piggies but my sheltie looked a right mess today her hair fluffed everywhere! Nothing a brush up wont fix I checked her over again as I do regularly she loves the tunnel and sitting in mess of course its stuck in her fur. Those with shelties do...

Now, I'm no pro when it comes to breeds of pig but Salsa looks to be an Abyssinian. I've never had one but they don't look to have overly long hair so I doubt you'd need to brush her regularly or trim her hair. Salsa looks like shes wondering what that tiny human is doing 🤣

Hi, Quick question my guinea pig is a long haired a pig who constantly needs her hair cutting and brushed. She doesn’t normally like this but its either that or have matted hair. I hate it when she’s not happy. What should I do xx

Thank you so much for all of this really helpful advice. The cage sits on a table and I don't want to risk it collapsing by climbing in myself, hehe! I do have a playpen though which I can set up on the floor and sit in with her. That would definitely take away some of my concerns over dropping...
