Brush

[mls18]

What brand of brush is good for long haired-guinea pigs? The pet ones that I see all have tough bristles. Would I be able to get a baby one? I feel like those would be softer.

A baby brush will only sweep over the surface and won’t get through the hair. You can use a small comb but you obviously need to be careful to make sure you dont tug into any tangles.

When The Ever Beautiful Betsy was alive I had this brush for her. It's called a Porcupine brush.

I use one like this from Pets at Home for this pair. I just cut out any tats for an easier, squeak-free life

Louise doesn't like being brushed - she panics and cries. But she got used to the clippers pretty quickly:

I use a comb with rolling teeth that are spaced relatively widely for Lexa. She's a lunkarya, so her fur is too thick for the finer comb I had for Truffle, who had very fine fur.
