Popcorning?! (also other questions)

[Beautifulmess]

I'm quite sure Corly is popcorning but it looks right odd! Almost like he's irritated and I was wondering if people could post any videos of their guinea pigs popcorning (young ones if possible) so I can see the difference. I remember Africa was a grand popcorner in his youth, proper had fits of it all the time. It used to make me think he was a bit special because well it was my first time having guinea pigs. The vet said something about skin, but you know they aren't always to be trusted ;]

Anyways... the other questions are more general
When can you start cutting a babies nails?
When are they allowed their first bath?
and cutting the fur shorter is ok right on long haired guineas (just the under hair) as Corly's looks right dirty all the time!:{

Baby toe nails depend on the size and maturity of the baby - that can be early in some piggies than others! 9-12 months is about average, I think.

I think that they can have a careful bath from three mon ths onwards, if they are very grotty.

I cut the hair in the back of my longhaired guinea pigs. They do not live for shows and I want them to have as much fun as everpigs else!
