Hi everyone,
I have noticed that my guinea pig’s fur around her rear end is getting a bit messy lately. It is not matted but it looks untidy and might be uncomfortable for her. I was wondering if it is okay to give it a little trim myself or if there is a specific way to do it safely.


It does not seem like something that would require a vet visit but I want to make sure I do nothurt her or stress her out. A little tidy-up might be just what she needs.


Thanks in advance
