- I am not a groomer. This is just a video showing how I trim my long haired guinea pig. I trim my long haired guinea pig's hair because I find it beneficial both for him and myself. It is your choice whether you trim your long haired piggies hair or not. Very long hair will require more maintenance.
Ares was very squirmy for his hair trim today. I will make an updated version of this video in the future. This video was requested by:

Thanks for watching!
Awww he looks like a toupee. So cute 😊
Hahaha oh Ares behave for your Mommy! There was so much bucking in there, reminded me of Phinni when I clip his nails! Hahaha. He looked just lovely when you were all finished :)
Ares is gorgeous! Xx
Thanks for sharing! I had to trim mine since he had such a long hair. Turns out he's very calm and just sat there nicely as I did everything
What a beautiful long haired Guinea Pig!
Petco it’s surprising you even fucking know what a guinea pig looks like. You are horrible to your animals!
Yea, kinda inclined to agree. I'll tolerate Big Box Morals when it comes to jars of pickles, auto tires and even firearms but fuck you guys for treating animals like commodities.
Seriously, you hire Walmart employees for workers, teach them nothing and then let them give advice and sell animals. You're monsters.
I looked through your videos, Petco. No one there should be allowed to make videos about snakes, birds, lizards, etc. If you took the chance to actually take care of your animals and train your employees about them, you would be fine. But I know you care more about money than millions of innocent lives on animals. Step back and think about what you've done.
Awh bless him Annie is exactly the same she bucks around everywhere! I might post a response to this video :) Your trimming skills are great by the way! Annie looks like a complete disaster after I've finished with her haha xD
Most adorable guinea pig I have ever seen!
that jumping is so so cute!! love the way you handle all of your pets I think you are amazing!!!
Your pig is very well behaved. I have 4 long haired and it's a nightmare and chore to cut their hair as they scuttle around a lot plus I don't have anyone to help me. I can't cut mine like you with the piggy on the floor but I have to hold them upside down in 1 palm and snip away quickly with some kitchen shears (as I find they are the best for layers of hair in the fewest chops. Fortunately, I haven't chopped off a nipple just yet though have been close! I highly recommend this to be a 2 person job.
Beautiful piggie!! So funny how he jumped around. Thanks for the tips!!
Mine reacts exactly the same! Thanks for this uplifting video plus I found many comments so useful!
Ares was hilarious in this video. His jumping had me cracking up. You did an awesome job, I can't imagine having to trim my pigs hair (glad I don't need too). It takes me what seems like days just to trim their nails. Great video!
Thank you. He’s adorable and he was so good during his trim
i love the way he turns around
She did really good on his hair
Every video about cutting guinea pig's hair they all have squirmed! Lol it's cute (:
Beautiful Guinea Pig!!!!!!
Erries is adorable with her new haircut 😍❤️
Beautiful coloured guinea pig
I don't like cutting my long haired silky hair unless it's to heavy for him! I like his long hair.
Awww ❤️ I love the long hair too
Not trying to be rude but I think u need sharper scissors because dragging it threw will hurt them like I said not trying to be rude and I thought this video was very helpful

Poor piggy, haha. He is very squirmy, haha.
Love this video and your channel!

Xxxxx
P.S: Ares is so beautiful, you must be proud of him!
What a silly pig! So glad mine are not like that LOL. Great video!
We got Rocky, a Sheltie Guinea Pig, from the local humane society. When we first got him his hair was tangled and matted. I never had a long haired Guinea Pig before and was afraid to use scissors, especially around his rump! We used our electric hair trimmers. Why don't I see more info about this method on the Internet? It was relatively easy and safer for Rocky! (Maybe I should do a video!)
So cute guinea
I know it's frustrating but it's nice to see that someone else's pig jumps around the way mine does. I was starting to think Caramel was just a drama queen lol.
Using actual hair cutting scissors might help you. I brought mine at a salon supply shop and they cut the hair without tugging it, they also cut really smoothly.
I've 3 cute long hair guineas too! They kicked n jumped as much as yours whenever I comb them after a bath esp for the female guinea.
He has such a beautiful coat, what is it with pigs and sitting in their wee? My boys are faaar worse when it comes to nail trimming! :)
can you give them mohawks
Yes but it would be very cruel and sad
Layla Wilson how would it be cruel
It wouldn’t guinea pig owners just love to over reacts
Mine has a mohawk sort of thing xD but its just the way his hair grows don't worry lol.
@@Hannah_7_ Same with mine lol.
He's beautiful! :)
How do you get a guinea pig to sit still?? I'm amazed lol
So cute.
so adorable!!!
I didn't know ares had red eyes
The reason he gets scared is cause your using regular scissors and you need to use grooming scissors cause the regular scissors his hair get stuck and hurt them
How old is he? He looks so big, you must take excellent care of him. Most people don't realize how big some piggies can get. Our local pet store buys small pets instead of ordering more and they had a huge four year old male who was close to a foot long and was closer to the size or a rabbit.
Next time you should work your way up when combing his hair. It makes the comb go threw more smoothly
were did you get the beautiful long hair guinea pig?
Cutie! ☺️
lol he's like nuuu don't cut my har
He is so beautiful
Aw, That must be a pain to trim every month! LOL! But it is worth it! That is why I have shorthairs, but longhairs are adorable as well! Very cute vid :)
Thank you, this helped :)
pretty piggy! :)
YOUR GUINEA PIG LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MINE
Im just happy u dont cut it bald he appreciates too nice hair cut hun
This is a random question, but do you happen to know the official color name of your pig? He looks like mine (except I have a coronet) and I've just been curious!
Kala Vining looks lilac to me!
As someone with two long haired piggies, I just want to point out that when mattting/knotting starts to form on their rears it is painful for them if you just tug and pull on the knots. When they jump and turn their rears away from you its because you pulled too hard. They don't have voices to tell us it hurts so please be aware of the signs. I find it easiest to gently hold the knot in my fingers and start to very gently cut the top layer. Don't start cutting on the bottom as that will just pull on the knot, work your way down. It's best to distract them with veggies as well!
This guinea pig is cute.
What breed is that guinea pig??
That is the huge guinea pig. Damn. How old is he?
I have a silkie guinea pig but I think she is also part American short hair because her hair doesn't get very long
I love teasel
Ahh so cute
We’re did you get your long haired guinea pig. Were trying to get one
I have 3 guinea pigs and one of them looks exactly like yours his name is simba
I have a sheltie guinea pig her name is juno and is so lovely❤️
should you give your guinea pig a bath wones you get it?
I have a silky Guineapig and I have just trimmed his hair and washed his here
Mine has dreads 😂
Doesn't matter how many times we comb him, they're back. 😂
No, a rabbits kick is very powerful and can really hurt, even kill pigs, even if your rabbit is really kind, it can happen by accident when a rabbit binkys x
What kind of guinea pig is it?
I have a long haired guinea pig and find his hair gets mattered really quickly! How often is it OK to bath them? I find it really hopes but now sure how much they are meant to be bathed?
how did he change from gray hair to blond hair after a bath ?
is that Ares?
Can you let go of the hair when they jump instead of pulling on it . It makes them scared and it also hurts . I found it very distressing.
what kind of guinea pig is he
is it self lilac?
its alive!
And it actually it is not that hard to groom a rabbit as long as they are tamed.
do a video about training a guinea pig
I am an expert piggy hair dresser ,i must do a video one day but i need some one to hold the camera ,i always cut the hair underneath my piggys super short and i cut every thing that touches the grond to just above the ground lenget and in january because my piggys live indoors the long haired ones get a short cut about 1inch all over and even shorted all underneath them !
I thought my piggy was the only one who react to combing and triming, now i see its just normal for them after i watched this video. By the way how old is your piggy?
Can u put rabbits with piggies
OMG so so so cute I just love and I'm getting one on Sunday 😍😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😎
beautiful!!! can you please do a hedgie toe nail clipping I never did it so I really am scared don't want to hurt him,,, thankyou!!
I normally shave their stomachs and -clears throat- ya know cos I can go longer without a haircut and it looks cute :) no hate he looks lovely!
When I bought my CUTE FAT GUINEA PIGGY it allready had a mohawk
Oops I forgot to leave a reaply to Cory in the house!
Is she / he a silky
i wish mine grew that fast :)
I don't recommend cutting with a kitchen knife it can make the hair very brittle at the ends
My guinea pig is so dramatic he moves too much
Thats a lot of hair !!!!!!!
