you can buy grooming kits which have different brushes from any shops like Pets At Home. You can also use deodorising spray whilst grooming them.

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.


What kind of guinea pig is right for you?

The best guinea pig to keep as a pet is either the American or the abyssinian. Although if you have the time and patience to groom your guinea pig every night the peruvian, silkie, texel or coronet may be the perfect breed for you. If you have a busy lifestyle and won't get much time to be with your guinea pig, then the best guinea pig for you would be the American breed. They cope well with being alone, but they love listerning to music! So keep that radio on! Although I highly recommend the Abyssinian guinea pig as they are very intelegent and love company or just to cuddle up with you on the couch!

Does guinea pig need groom?

Guinea pigs are usually able to groom themselves, but it's best if you give them a hand sometimes. You can get a special brush from the pet store for them. If your guinea pig breed has long hair (peruvian, silkie, abbysinian) then you should groom them quite often, as their hair drags on the ground and can get very dirty. If you have med-short haired (american, short haired) then you won't have to groom them a lot as they should be able to take care of themselves. You can give them baths once every month or so, but for the long haired i recommend once or twice every month. In winter i wouldn't give them a bath as it can be very cold, but maybe once if you have to, but spring and summer are the best seasons to clean your guinea pig.
