Hi! Piggies reach adulthood at around 15 months of age. Long will keep on growing so you need to cut it regularly in order to prevent matting and tangles.

I would strongly recommend to keep the bum end around the genitalia and legs short and to also keep any hairs off the floor on the sides and off the eyes. In summer during hot weather you want to give your long-hairs a shorthair cut so they are not lugging around the equivalent of a skisuit. The hair will have grown back by autumn.
