My guinea pig hates having his bum touched! He'll let you brush it very gently and stroke it very gently and I mean, gently! But if you try and touch the area round the very back down by his feet he goes mad and jumps and runs away from you. I've tried as gently as possible to look under his hair to see if his skins sore, but it doesn't look like there is mallethead
I really need to trim his hair round by his bottom, but he just won't let me and I don't really know what to do. Even if you just carefully touch a bit of fur down there he goes mad ?/
 
Piggies hate having their bums touched! Maybe the vet would clip the area for you?
 
Oh, I thought it was just mine haha! I've seen videos where people have been grooming their piggies bottom and the piggy just doesn't care haha!
Didn't think of the vets, thank you :)
 
Many piggies don't like it; my three perus always perform a kind war dance with kung fu moves... mallethead

Lol! That is an exact description of what my boys do! Buddy in particular looks outraged and tucks himself into a ball throwing me a look that seems to say "A boars bottom is his own concern!"

Here, my boar can explain(puts piggie infront of computer). Well, what if I touched your bottom area(piggie runs away from the computer)!

That really made me laugh - that's exactly what my long haired piggy and another one that's boarding with us do! LOL!

And you have another boarder coming to you this evening who does similar when touched on the side when trying to pick her up sometimes :))
 
I've heard almost all piggies hate having their bums touched! For some reason my girls don't mind! :p
 
Cookie doesnt really mind but Popcorn hates it and like bucks and squeels if you touch her but shes generlly more wimpy anyway! :)
