Adult Guinea Pig
Hello,
If you saw my other thread in guinea pig chat you know that I am getting a long-haired guinea pig some time next week. I want to be prepared for her arrival and one of the most important things in a long-haired pig is grooming. I would love some tips on grooming please if anyone has any. I have been looking through books and they don't say much on the matter. If you don't mind I have a few questions:
I know that she should be brushed everyday but with a baby brush or is there a certain type of brush you should use?
Is it once a week they should be bathed?
How much should their hair be trimmed?
Is it best to keep the hair short so it doesn't get caught in poo or food?
I can't think of any more questions but any more advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
