Over a period of one month my male guineas hair ( hes a long hair) has gone really short. He has no bald patches or anything! It looks like someone has just got a pair of scissors and trimmed him!

This sucks, he is holding the title of the best guinea pig in my state as well :(

We were planning ahead for a show in two weeks. Er.

Does anyone know what this is?
 
Hiya,

As this forum is pro rescue we cannot discuss showing. Have a look here http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18257

It sounds to me like barbering. Is he in with a cage mate? Pigs will chew on their cage mates fur, nobody really knows why they do this. My Sows tend to groom one another but not actally bite the hair off.

Welcome to the forum,

Louise

Barbering is the first thing i thought when i read this too, can't imagine any other way for hair shorten
