I've just rehomed a pair of what are likely Texel sows, with beautiful soft, wavy/curly hair. Until now, we have had our Abyssinian and our possible Teddy (although she has a very curly back end, and wavy hair on the rest of her, so perhaps she's part Texel too?). We've been using a metal comb...

Okay thanks for the advice .

Gorgeous piggy haircuts!

She needs a proper wash usually every couple of weeks I’d say with times where it’s needed every week so I’m glad to hear that it’s a normal amount of time between washes and trims. Main sleeping area changed every night. She’s always had a mucky bum but can’t reach under very easily now. She...

Hi! Use our piggy whispering tips to make friends with her and establish your dominance as the herd leader. This is making things a bit easier. Most long-haired piggies hate having their hair brushed or cut has having hair pulled is not a pleasant experience. I prefer to give mine a regular...

ohh i get your point, yeah i take them twice a year for all the exams and i totally get all animals hate the vet specially small ones like piggies but it just never happened to me before but yeah i can totally agree it was 100% the whole experience and then coming home to different hay/dryfood...

If they're just brushing off it might not be lice egg-casings because I think these are glued onto the hairs even when empty. Some piggies can get dry, flaky skin but I have no experience of this. I don't wash or shampoo mine and now the long-haired one has had a summer trim we don't even...

Hi My Guinea pigs are 10 months old. For the last month or so one of them won't let me touch her or stroke her. She has always hated sitting on my lap but she didn't mind me stroking her until recently. They are long haired Peruvians so I have to brush them regularly. She won't let me touch her...

I trim all my long haired four. They all loathe it but loathed being brushed and combed even more! Lucky Rosie doesnt have to worry, being short haired.

It’ll take time but it is so important to get into a routine of weighing them every week. It is the only way to be sure they are eating enough hay and can be so useful in picking up on the early warning signs of an illness. They will sometimes stop eating enough hay (so you will see weight...

All my older piggies have had curled nails and as long as it's not affecting their walking or digging into the pads I've not worried about it. Most have arrived older - Flora was relatively young at 2 and hers are still sharp! George is 4 and a fatty and he's got some proper thick curly-wurly...

Hello everyone, I own two long-haired piggies and as expected their fur requires more attention than short-haired breeds. I brush my piggies often and trim the back end when it gets too long. However, it sometimes isn’t enough, particularly with my sow, who is an Abyssinian - no matter how...

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...
