Question

like make the hair shorter if u have along haired guinea pig

Answer 1

i never gave my guinea pig a haircut; but i am sure you could go to the pet store/vet thinggy and give him a trim :]

Answer 2

I have never personally done this. But from what I've heard you have to very careful not to cut them. I don't know if they say that because GP's have thin skin like cats or because they move so much or what. Kinda common sense tho

Have you tried calling some groomers in your area?

I've had GP's but they have always been short haired.

Here are some links for you, best of luck!

Answer 3

my vet trimmed our longhaired guinea pigs hair for the summer, it's just more practical sometimes unless it like enters shows or something. shorter hair reduces the risk of dehydration and fly strike also! in short, yes you can but if you're doing it yourself be careful of both your and the guinea pigs appendages

Answer 4

I don't know if you can i did and he seemed to be fine with it.

I mean it didnt hurt or kill him so i don't see why you can't.
