I rehomed Ellie and Sassy today from a facebook page. They are my first females and they are SO pretty! x)

I'M SMITTEN with them :laluot_29:

Sassy has been named so as she is exactly that. She's lively, bold, cheeky and full of spirit.
Ellie was named by my daughter. She's calm and placid and likes to cover her beautiful hair in hay! Lol!

Here they are:

They are both lovely x) Love their names.
 
Ellie has the MOST beautiful hair Lilly! Do I need to trim it if it get's too long? I'm new to long haired Guinea's. I know they take some grooming and I'm happy with that I just want to make sure I'm doing the right things :)

You'll definitely need to trim her bum hair to keep it from getting matted, one of our first girls Pitch in our avatar was long haried, we kept her bum trimmed weekly and trimmed her fur in the summer. Weekly brushing to make sure there are no tangles is a must too. The best way to brush or comb is to hold the fur at the roots as you comb so you don't tug it and cause pain.

Yeah, I loved playing with Pitch's fur. Is Ellie's really soft?
 
Beautiful girlies! I'd definitely keep on top of their grooming. When my Kevin came to me he was severely matted with all sorts like poop and hay matted into his bum fur, there were multiple clumps poor boy. I'm glad they have a lovely new home, I love their food dish!
