it can be losing fur due to stress or lack of vitamin C. I have a guinea pig that was given to me that hair loss and i read about it so i got some vitamin C stuff for her. If your guinea pig is still losing its fur after that then i would call a vet.

∙ 12y agoyou and your guinea pig may not have bonded well yet, some animals just react that way as an instinct. you need to show your guinea pig that you are a friend, try spending long periods of time with it and when you approach do it slowly and calmly.

Is a short hair guinea pig better than a long hair guinea pig?
It all depends on if you like brushing your guinea pig a lot. You see, long hair guinea pigs are harder to groom and their hair gets full of dust and bedding and gets kind of nasty. But, short hair guinea pigs have more trouble keeping themselves warm. So it depends on if you are a brusher or a cuddler. If you are both, then I suggest getting a long hair and a short hair to share a cage together.
