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...

Thank you X3 They are my precious fuzzy potatoes. Had my eye on another pair at first, but those two were already adopted... Then I was shown Percy and Pedro and fell in love. ❤ Long hair piggies require regular grooming and I love to brush and comb, so they are even more perfect for me than the...

Heya folks. I recently got a rescue youngster to go with my neutered boar, I figured she just would just out run him and not entertain his advances until some time later, I knew they started seasons early but I figured she’d be too busy being small and daft, but as soon as she had her first...

Hey all, One of my pigs, Ozzy, has super long hair that is non stop growing. I brush his hair regularly, but the hair around his butt keeps matting. - I was trying to comb as much as I could out yesterday, and he wouldn't stop squeaking as it was pulling and clearly uncomfortable for him. - so...

We use towels with puppy pads on top, then bath mats on top. They have fleece bedding and vet bed where needed for absorbency. I avoid shavings anyway to reduce chance of respiratory problems. glad he cooperates for the brushing! 😁 ours are the same, easily distracted by food!

Hi - We are new to The Guinea Pig Forum We homed 2 guinea pigs (sisters) from a rescue centre last May, they are nearly 2 years old. They are long haired and really friendly and get lots of care and attention. They live outside during the warmer months, but inside at the moment. Both have...

Hello everyone, Iv has a look in posts but can’t find any answers so had to make one 😊. Princes is a long haired cross who dislikes grooming in any form. We manage now with a soft baby brush & on top is fine. The problem is her underside area near her bum. If I put my hand down over her tummy...

My boy Leo had very long hair. I brushed him daily with a soft baby brush and gave him occasionally shallow baths and hair cuts.
