That’s a question I would certainly be asking. Along with why he’s being given up for adoption. I have had male guinea pigs in the past and they were all lovely. My very first piggie were a gorgeous cream rex boar called Ozzpig and Taz who had really long hair that I had to brush all the time...

Our pig Pepper has a bit of Texel in him(we think).. this is his current winter cut.. under his bum is shorter but I keep it long at the top! Summer hair We keep him on fleece which i would reccomend over shavings! I notice his boar bits need cleaning a lot more with fur and gunk vs...

A lot of longer-haired pigs get mats in their fur, even with a clean cage and regular brushing. I honestly just cut the mat out with scissors. I had two sheltie crosses with long 'skirts' in back and I would honestly just make a little ponytail of the hair and then cut the whole thing off with...

I have a Sheltie and she is the same, always hay stuck in her hair. I brush her hair about 4 times a week, she actually likes it as long as you don’t brush her back end near her bum, then she protests. She gets her hair trimmed about once a month and I use a beard trimmer in summer on a long...

Hi! Please get a new brush. Was she treated for hay mites or mange mites?

Flakey skin is probably worth a vet visit. It could ba a sign of some sort of skin condition. Only long haired Guinea pigs need brushing regularly to stop the hair from matting.

Very long update and my reflections on Oreo, and some questions. I don't expect it to be read by many but there's a couple of questions so I put those in bold in case anyone's experienced the same. 😬...

Oh my goodness he is gorgeous 😍 one of my boys is half coronet so he has quite long straight hair at the back in the bum area and I sometimes find that can mat with grease and it needs to be washed. Do you use any special products for your part texel? Could you also send details of the cooling...

Maybe this is controversial but I don't brush my two long-haired piggies. I intended to but soon realised that it wasn't necessary for them. I guess other people's experience might be different. Mine get a cut every few weeks which deals with any matted bits around the bum end but otherwise...

Hi everyone I am new to the world of guinea pigs and my 2 have been with us for around 8-10weeks. One has longer hair the other short hair and both females. I have managed to get them to poop/pee in mainly the one area. However my long haired one just loves lying there in amongst all the eugh...

I can imagine that if it's on a bit where he can reach easily to scratch he might break the skin with his nail..? I know my long haired girl seems to scratch less when her hair is clipped but I've not had her long enough to solidly confirm this suspicion - I'm sure there was a thread on here not...

All the information you need is in the guide linked above. From a personal perspective, when I’ve had Peruvians and Silkies I’ve used a small slicker brush. Daily coat care and grooming is absolutely essential. And I kept their rear ends trimmed short to help them stay clean. They are a lot...

Awww they're gorgeous :luv: :love: Well done for taking them on :nod: I never wanted long haired Guinea's because of the extra work, but I took her on at approx. 15wks she's my only pet shop piggie, she was the only female in store so kept out the back, away from the boys, two batches of...

Dear piggy friends, So sorry for posting this but I really need your help 😢 I will call the vet tomorrow during work hours but I’m terribly worried at the moment. Could you please give us some advice on this please? Just now we found our two one and half years old boars Mister Potato and...

Yes I have one long haired boy. The other is short haired but he has a long hairy train hanging off his back And down his bottom. Neither like being handled but the long haired boy has a slightly longer attention span when being held. I'm lucky in that both my two have learnt over the years...

Thanks it's really reassuring to hear that. I thought I was messing up. I've just done a second haircut on the floofs and it went better, managed to trim back end hair and give their bottoms a wee wash.

Also bear in mind that some pigs are long-haired but not all over if they are mixed breed. The pig in my avatar is a sheltie cross- she doesn't look long-haired from the pic, but she does grow a long skirt in back that I have to cut. Otherwise she just feels like a softer version of a...

Hi everyone, so just before lockdown started I adopted a long haired guinea pig. I was going to buy a proper brush for guinea pigs but then I read on the internet that’s its fine to use a comb. At the moment I brush her everyday using a small plastic comb (I know it’s not ideal) however her hair...

I chop my Louise about that many weeks apart but I don't do anything with brush or comb in between because she hates it so! Each time the brush catches a little tat or tangled hair she cries and jumps. So I just do the big chop, brush out the loosies and any debris, and leave it at that...

Cody was makes a moaning noise when scratching his back/ cleaning. He hates me touching anywhere near it even tho his the most loveliest guinea pig he loves affection normally, he will go for me. I’ve tried mite stuff. Took him to the vet. Not gonna lie the vet didn’t help . He had no clue. He...
