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...

Hi everyone. I have a real problem with one of my pigs. When I let the kids pick 2 they choose long hair breeds. As a first time owner I thought nothing of this. They need brushed a lot but princess has really long hair that if left grows very long at the back & sides. Her top & sides are fine &...

Yes the legs look so different to short hair, could imagine them being a wee trap. Many thanks.

This is my first long-haired piggy Louise, before and after a haircut I was told her previous owner kept piggies for shows so I assumed she would either enjoy or at least be used to brushing and combing. She enjoys laptime but when the brush first appeared her eyes went wide and white - I...

Lol aw poor Betsy. I saw the blind piggies at TEAS running round in circles and can imagine they'd not like a grooming assault 😊 I'll do the same with our floofs.

Three of mine are long haired. I never brush them, just chop off any mats or wet skirts round their back end as they occur. Cherry blossom and her smooth coated sister, Rosie, Mistletoe (cream and white, just after a trim) and neutered boar, Cufflinks ( just after a trim).

Here in the UK the vet checks over healthy piggies using non-intrusive methods. So if piggies come in with no symptoms they will check the skin and fur, the ears, the teeth, the nails and such. They weigh the pigs and ask about their age (sometimes we can only guess!) and how they eat/poop...

Thank you. I don't think he can reach. Its right near his scent gland area but then again he seems to be itchy all over. We are going to do a hack job on him ready for summer and hopefully that will make him more comfy and easier for us to spot any issues. 🙂
