Junior Guinea Pig
Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice. I have a female texel, she is approx 6 months old now and as you can imagine, her hair is now rather long. However, she will not let me trim it! It was ok at first as I just managed to get a little bit cut as she squealed but now it is so long that it really does need some maintenance, she has developed some rather large knots underneath by her bottom and I am getting really worried for her. I bought some detangling spray in the hope this would ease the knots but she still continues to squeal hysterically if I try to comb or cut her hair. I am aware that guinea pigs have incredibly sensitive skin and am very careful with her, holding the hair at the root as to not tug at it. Does anyone have any tips? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
