I could understand banjo getting confused if minstrel was green and mistaking all that whispy hair as hay, but surely it does not taste nice! do they eat it or is it used to decorate their pad?
 
lol ,,my sow does this aswell on her sow friend who is a corronet she is meant to have long hair but not anymore lol.my whiskers thats her name did this on my 8yr old daughter while she was watching the tv my daughter came running in with around 12inch of hair in her hand that whiskers had bitten off at the roots while she was watching the tv and she never even felt her doing it lol,,,,:)):)):))@)
 
Oh Jane he's done such a fanastic job - his layering skills are second to none. You should rename Banjo Sweeny Todd! :)) :)) Poor Minstrel, tho' he's still so very handsome x)
 
Our new peruvian girls do it to each other. The lady we got them from says they have never been cut as they do it to each other!
 
Sorry to drag this thread up again, but does anyone know if they will stop doing it? Or is Minstrel going to be permanently short haired now except for his coronet? He looks lovely, but I'm not sure what to tell any people who (hopefully) may want to adopt them. x
 
I'd like to know myself as someone here has started it. I keep watching but can't figure out the culprit. I want a piggy cam as would love to see who does it and see if can work out why. Whoever it is did a real job on Teasle, Tia and Tansy all over in a couple of nights. Most of their coats seem to be growing back now but the fringes are staying short so makes me think someone is still at it. Generally it doesn't bother me as not harming anyone but sometimes could weep to see their flowing locks.

I think I read before there was something harmless but bitter tasting you could dab on their coats to stop it but can't remember where I read that or what the substance was.

EDIT to add - forgot to say I did read an article not long ago by someone who had perus and after a new addition to the group barbering started. This person worked through various things like more hay, more pellets, more toys etc and eventually after about 4 weeks the long hair started to grow back but wasn't sure which method had worked or if the barber just stopped of own free will.
