Well I have 2 abyssinians and had them for 1 and 2 weeks. I've brushed them once a week so far as I didn't want to over power them too much but I think once a week is about right I've had to trim Frazzle's bum hair as he had some knots when I first got him, but Bumble's has been fine so far. I've only used the soft bristled brush too so far
Shorthair piggies don't need a lot of brushing; once a week is plenty. Wait until they have settled in and got their bearings. Start slowly with lots of encouragement and praise.
From my experience Abys aren't that keen on grooming, maybe it's the sworls of hair that go in all directions! I've only ever used a soft baby brush on mine, once every couple of weeks, if they are short haired Aby type that is fine, if they are Peruvian or long haired then you will need to brush them more often
