  • 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:

      Petco it’s surprising you even fucking know what a guinea pig looks like. You are horrible to your animals!

      @Gj23jk2 Před 6 lety +5

      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.

    • @tedbarszewski7181
      @tedbarszewski7181 Před 5 lety +4

      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.

    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.

    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!)

    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.

    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

  • @brittanyperry6124
    @brittanyperry6124 Před 11 lety +1

    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.

    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!

  • @raecoy
    @raecoy Před 8 lety +1

    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!
