hi i have 6 week old males which I'm got last thursday well i went to hold them this morning and they are quite long haired and herbert has a wet bum all his fur is wet what do i do about this ? regards dawn
With a long haired guinea pig I usually cut their hair shorter around their bottom as it can get quite matted. I have a guinea pig with long hair so I know what its like.
Guinea pigs which get wet bums also could have cystitis (more common in sows but occasionaly can be seen in boars!)
Check out this website for more information on it..
Griffin was long haired and always did this for the few weeks i had him i think its where they pee and it just covers there hair i did the same i cut the bit around his bottom to stop this and he was fine try that but if it gets worse see your vet its better to be safe then sorry x
i may take him to the vets just to make sure he is o.k cause he is very quiet and frank is sooooooooo lively it could be that its there personalities but ill make sure thanks dawn
Maybe he just went pee and because he is long haired, it will get his bum wet if he sat in it. This once happened to one of my long haired - but if you keep them nice and trim by the bum, it won't happen very often.
My Zubin is shy and quiet but hes ok, and Rudi and griff my previous piggies where NUTS lol so its probably his personality but its always a good idea to have him checked after you get them, did you buy them from a pet shop or adopt from a sancuary? x
