OK so Harry and Aliza and Laila are very well bonded, they are all so very happy piggies and they share everything. Only today I came back from food shopping to find that a girl piggy had cut her husbands hair? Is this normal?
Could it be affection? Can she get hairballs? Can she be so intelligent she was helping him see better?
He went from this:

barbering is quite normal...
some pigs do it some pigs dont... but the pigs being barbered dont seem to mind... :)
they ususally stop doing it after a while... :)
no health problems are related to this... apart from the occasional tragic hair cut... but your guy looks like he's faired okay... :))

when i bonded rocky and paddy.... paddy is a sheltie and he had the most gorgous lilac locks... by the next week you would have sworn he was a smooth coat... but rocky never did it again after that and it grew back eventually.... it does seem to be related to bonding sometimes... ive bonded a few long haired guinea pigs and ended up with a baldy after wards... :))
