Grooming Glove/Brush Thingy

Hi
I've just seen this on ebay and was wondering if anyone used them:

One of my girls has fairly short hair and doesn't really need brushing as there are never any knots but she does seem to moult a lot. I'm just wondering if this would be a better option.

If anyone has used them, does the hair stick to the glove or fly all over the place!

Thanks, Louise x

Just giving this a cheeky 'bump'!

I used to use something similar to get rid of large amounts of hair when my pony was shedding his winter coat and it definitely swept it up. I'm unsure how it'd work for a piggy though as with Ponyboy you had to use quite pressured strokes to really sweep it off - I think if you were using it on a piggy you'd have to be gentler and the result would just be the same as generally stroking them and removing the loose hairs.

I do sympathise with your problem though, Tango is a real moulter!

Thanks for the reply. I might just get one and try it. It's fairly cheap x
