Guinea Turned Into A Professional Barber!

[flows]

Heres a odd question. My lady cleara (peruvian in my profile) keeps getting her fur nibbled by baby. Baby was introduced to cleara after about 6 months and they adore eachother and share everything. The hair thats been nibbled is the flows infront of cleras face and her sides. Its almost like its been professionally groomed! She now looks more like a shetlie! All hay veg and pellets are consumed as normal. And 3 months on the pruvians hair is still in the same style... Please advise

Some guinea pigs just naturally do this to each other and it is called Barbering.

My pig Kasper barbers my hair and he used to barber Unos hair too

Apparently it can be caused by a lack of hay. But Kasper has plenty so I don't really know why!

I've no experience with barbering except that my Peanut Butter likes to chew on the dog's tail hair whenever he can get at it. But here's some info on the subject from Guinea Lynx http://www.guinealynx.info/hairloss.html#barbering

Thanks. There is plenty of hay.
