Awwww... they're super cute! Adorable! There's no particular reason to give youngish pigs alfalfa pellets. It's sometimes recommended as it is calorically denser, but it's something that should definitely be stopped after the first few months because the calcium content is high enough to...

Is there a guinea pig under there? :)) :love:

Oh my gosh she is so cute 😍😍 What a difference in her appearance from the before and after shots!

Hi, your new piggy sounds lovely! I once owned a Abyssinian and I wasn't expecting him to grow such long hair and eventually this developed into a knot problem. As I was not aware of his breed at the time when I purchased him. I could not get the knots out so how I dealt with the issue is simply...

I brush my long haired pig Pepper twice a week, trim his bottom area once every 2 months. He hasn’t needed a bath in ages he had about 2 in his first year of life when he wasn’t as good at keeping clean. I’m the summer I shave him shorter so he isn’t too hot 😊 Peppers fur isn’t quiet as wild...

i have a variety of piggies,some with long white hair,some curley,some short,some frizzy.in my experience it depends on the piggy.the messy ones,i keep to fur short around the bum and genitals.some are longhaired...boys seem to keep themselves very clean and need little trimming,just to keep it...

I've been on the forum for quite a while but rarely post, preferring to enjoy everyone else's stories and pictures. However, I've been struggling with my latest herd bereavements and have found it difficult to enjoy my remaining piggies. I've made this thread as a way to try to mindfully spend...

Mine get changed at every clean so last about 3-4 days. My tunnels and cuddle cups are made of polyester fleece with cotton outer layer on some and dry very fast. The worst thing I find is brushing off all the hair particularly Posh’s as it’s quite fine and long

asking for grooming advice for a Peruvian guinea pig! i’m purchasing another guinea pig very soon & i’m in need for some grooming advice. i’ve got a couple of questions & i’d appreciate any tips, techniques, recommendations, or suggestions on maintaining his fur. 1.) how often should i brush...

My Betsy has long hair and she often has a mat at the back. I just cut it off. She hates being brushed WITH A PASSION so I generally don't do it now. It doesn't help that she's as blind as a bat so doesn't understand what is happening to her.

Welcome to the forum I have a long haired piggie too. Posh gets a trim with my OH beard trimmer in late spring and a regular brush around every couple of days. her hair is quite short in the photo, she is just beginning to grow her coat for winter! To attach a photo, click on the green attach...

Shedding is normal. I can’t say how much is too much when they have ringworm as I’ve no experience with it. Did you manage to get them to the vet for treatment? I’m sorry I can’t remember 😬 You could brush the fleece to remove most of the hair. There’s a brush that was mentioned on here long...

So long story short one of my boy guinea pigs was making a moaning noise when scatchinv his back and he would do it a lot. He pulled a little bit of hair out there too. He hated me touching anywhere near it even tho his the most loveliest guinea pig he loves affection normally, he would go for...

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. 😬...
