Adult Guinea Pig
I was just wondering whether there was any nice way or at least a less scary way of trimming long haired pigs? My poor effie acts as though I'm the worst human on the planet when I try and trim her hair. It upsets me because she really does get distressed. I've tried doing little bits each night and tried to just do it in one go to get it over and done with but she gets very upset with me. We rescued her 3 months ago and she's still pretty nervous but is coming out of her shell. The only issue is fur cutting and she needs trimming pretty regularly especially around her bum and she hates me for days afterwards. I'm not quite sure what exactly scares her but I'm pretty sure it's the noise of the scissors cutting. She's not too bothered about having her nails cut though. Any advice?
