I've recently adopted two Peruvian guinea pigs, (or are they Shebas I was wondering), never having had long haired before. Sarah who runs the rescue advised me to keep their hair short, cutting every 6 weeks or so, which I'll do. I am nervous about that, but thank you @Betsy for the...

I've recently had my first long-haired piggy who came from a background where she was well looked after and not neglected. She was handed into a rescue with her friend because the owner was moving house and couldn't keep all her pigs so she just kept her elderly ones. The most surprising thing...

I brush mine 3 times a day, though I only have these two so it doesn't take too much time. 😆 I imagine those who have herds of long hairs spend far longer in brushing their piggies though! They are wonderful with their funky hairdos and like any piggy, can be quite cuddly with their humans. 😄

Thank you for the guide ^^ It'd probably be better to trim them so that they don't turn into scruffmonsters. Even though I love the flowing fur, especially on Percy, the mats just popped out of no-where on him even after the morning brushing. I try and brush 3 times a day to keep their coats...

My pigs moult like mad - and I have both long and short haired. I have a rubber brush which makes quick work of removing hair from fleece and you can just brush it over a bin, then sweep any hairs that landed on the floor.

We have this brush for our long haired pig Pepper, works well... I’d say he tolerates it! Rosewood Options Mini Gentle Slicker: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies

Hello guys. As the title said, I had a piggie that passed away for about four or five months. Today I accidentally dropped the brush which I used to clean the other healthy piggie's water bottle to where the other piggie lives or where he goes and I place the brush there for a long time. I used...

Posh has long hair and near impossible to get off fleece, I brush then wash then use cellotape to get the rest off, short haired piggies hair is much easier 🙄

Thank you so much for this fantastic information. It will be helpful to ask what medicine (if they have mites) they will get and if they kill eggs, very crucial, thank you. Also thank you for the heads up that they might have spasms, at least I know what to expect😬. I would definitely think it...

I have 5 long haired girls and find the bath mats are great the hair doesn't seem to stick to it and easily brushes off and I find the hair doesn't stick and comes off easily on the furry micro fleece. Another good one is Vetbed.

Ok - I'm a bit late to this party but I'll weigh in too 😅 You've most likely got mites or lice and you won't get any problems with these passing onto you or your family. They live on pigs. You'll feel itchy because you're thinking about critters and sometimes people are a little sensitive to hay...

I’ve found trying to brush long haired pigs traumatic for both me and them and just cut off any matted fur now.

Fungal infection and parasites (like mites and lice) can both cause hair loss. We've had the parasites and saw scratching and shedding (although no bald spots) and the hair loss was most obvious around the back end. Our vet prescribes a product for mites called Xeno-450 which contains...

We have a long haired white boar to, we just trim his bum area and pee stains away, what bedding are you in? I know when we switched from shavings to fleece there was a noticeable difference in how yellow he got! In terms of brushing we put a piece of veg that takes long to eat infront of him...

I think they sell ‘pet teezers’ in pets at home, they are advertised as dog brushes (so are in the dog section) but they do different sizes and for different hair types (long hair, short hair ect.). I have one for my rabbit and it works really well the bristles are exactly the same as a tangle...

Hello everyone, I have two beautiful long-haired piggies, a Sheltie and an Abyssinian, so obviously their fur tends to require a little more TLC than a shorter-haired breed. I was just hoping to get some good tips on grooming them, particularly their back end as I expect that is more likely to...

Hi! Anything that is transmitted by airborne body to body droplet transmission can only stay alive outside a body for a matter of hours, not months.

You wouldn’t be mad but they do require a bit more care in the form of brushing their hair daily to ensure mats don’t form, and keeping them hair trimmed particularly around their bottom. But also a more thorough trim in summer to ensure they don’t get too hot I have a long haired boy!

Mine are short haired so I don’t brush at all. I cut a little off their nails maybe every month... if they’re quite long then I’ll probably cut off twice a month.

I recently got my first long haired piggy (3 years old) and she hates the brush and looked so frightened it surprised me. Her previous owner had kept her in very good condition so I assumed she must like being brushed but perhaps her cries were ignored or maybe I'm just clumsy. Anyway we chopped...
