That alone isn’t a reason for her to need regular bathing. Bathing should only be done if there is a medical need to do so ie a piggy has arthritis and simply can’t reach round to clean themselves clean anymore. Cut her hair short around her back end and legs so it doesn’t drag on the ground...

Hi everyone! Just wondered what people had found the best way to get pet hair (guinea pigs only here) out of carpet? Our home has long piled carpet throughout. The hoover does a pretty good job where their cage is but we hang up their laundry in the conservatory and the amount of hair that...

Hi You may find our hair cutting guide helpful; it contains practical tips, videos and pictures for various procedures, including how to deal with the most knotted parts without destroying the whole coat. An Illustrated Guide to Hair Cutting

If you can wait, wait ideally until they come out and take food from you. Hold any hair loosely from the body before you start brushing/disentangling from the hair tips so you are pulling as little as possible. Personally, I let the hair grow long for one 'glam model' picture but otherwise keep...

Lovely names! :love: I try to keep my long-haired ones short round the bum and legs and short enough on the sides that they can do all the piggy stuff without hair getting in the way. During the summer months they get short haircuts; especially before a spell of more extreme heat. Carys is my...

Hi I think you may find small dog clippers from a pet shop or online the best. Otherwise any decent scissors that will not pull on the hairs and have sharp points will do. Anyway, I would not recommend a scissors/comb combo. Either a soft small pet brush for silky long hair or an afro comb for...

Yes, trimming off long strands that are prone to Matts is the best approach. Guinea pigs are sensitive to having pressure on their fur and will tell you when they are uncomfortable. She seems quite shy so possibly doesn't express pain very assertively, but if she is jolting, you are causing her...

Heyy! My piggies are only a few month old but have long hair. They hate getting their hair brushed, they won't even take veg or treats when I have them on my knee :( their hair gets knotted and it obviously pulls when I brush them, even when I try to hold the hair so it doesn't hurt. How can I...

I have not fallen off the face of the earth, just have had a few hard days.... its fall here and both my migrines and copd have been making life interesting! hawkeye is doing good eathing well and drinking so i was thinking it would be a good time to get another gunie pig...and yes that is...

Who me?! I shouldn’t worry panko would give any intruder a good nip! 🤣 especially f you tried to brush him! I would also pig nap @weepweeps Patrick as he is 😍or maybe one of @Betsy Floofy girls (or both 👀) as I do love a fluffy pig!

Yes, long hair can definitely be a pain! I always wanted a long-haired pig and now I have one... unfortunately she is NOT very cooperative with brushing and clipping! So far I've managed to just trim everything regularly with scissors while one of my kids holds her still (because bribing her...

Every day, I have to brush one of my girls and she will always be knotted to the point where she jolts because I'm pulling at her fur. I wouldn't describe her as long furred, but longer than my two short haired ones. Shes always been mute around me, but talks to her sisters. She doesn't seem to...

The winter definitely is a tough season with those of us who are chronically ill or disabled, so I understand where you're coming from! I hope you are able to take care of yourself this season and get through fine. I would check local shelters as well and see if they have any that are available...

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...

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...

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...

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...
