Lyra was soooooooooo cute in this video. I laughed so hard at her commentary throughout. She cracks me up. You did such a great job on her haircuts. Saskia does these bowl cuts to pigs that make me laugh, but you make Lyra look like she's been to the salon. I love her both ways. Of course, it has to be so much more comfortable after the haircut. :-) Willow is probably giggling back in the house, saying, haha, I don't have to cut my hair!

One of my Texel girls sits beautifully still, and the other is a true nightmare! The slightest touch and she squeals and jumps and it's never changed. I usually end up just doing her haircut gradually over a few days so she doesn't get too stressed! Great video, I thought Lyra looked lovely after her trim, thanks for reminding me of another job I must do !! : )

@@SqueakDreams The naughty one squirts urine at me too!! It's very difficult if they get matted under the bottom end and they don't let you cut it away. I would really advise people with Texel guinea pigs to groom them every day as babies, it's really vital they get used to it, and sadly I failed to do so! It does depend on personality though, as I say I have another Texel who is as good as gold, and had the same care

How can I pet my piggie that I are skittish and I started pet them to early and I am scared that they don’t trust me anymore what should I do?
@gracezhang83114 жыл бұрын
Don't worry too much about it! New guinea pigs are always a little bit nervous and skittish, but they'll warm up to you :) If your guinea pig is not comfortable, don't chase them around the cage. You can start by gently touching their nose (if they let you) when giving them veggies, and, once they are used to that, begin to pat their head. Always make sure they know your hand is there and try not to take them by surprise, since sometimes their flight instinct just takes over and they will run to their hideys. Don't be discouraged! Even though some piggies may be harder to tame, they all have amazing personalities that will shine through! Sarah actually has a video on petting guinea pigs - you can check that out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6DPppRrqKtgoKs Hope this helps! Good luck!

I plan on having some updated videos on just this 😊 firstly maybe consider getting her a friend, then work on hand feeding and petting in the cage. When you have her out for laptime make sure she has a blanket to feel safe in, a little bit of shelter can help make them feel a lot more safe and secure 😊

How old are they? If the hair looks smooth and short then they may get it a little long if they are crossbreeds, but are most likely to be short-haired. If they have tufty bits or kind of wavy patterns then they might grow long hair - though its usually already getting long by the time they are sold/adopted :)
