Why does my guinea pig keep trying to eat my hair? she ate a little bit today and I got it before she got too much but now a piece of my hair got sawed off.
 
Mine try and nibble mine but I just put it down to my hair having so much bleach they thought it was straw! Sorry I can’t help

Guinea pigs barber for a number of reasons; long human hair can be irrestible to some!
You may find this guide here informative: Barbering ( Eating Hair)
 
Theo bit off a 6 inch long thick chunk of my hair this week, he was nuzzling my neck and ears and then there was a sound like scissors then we had to chase him about the sofa with him popcorning away and pull it out of his mouth before he swallowed it! Goats always do this to me too, I guess my frizzy blond hair just looks too much like hay for animals to resist. Definitely tying my hair back (whats left of it anyway!) for Theo cuddles in future :)
