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.

∙ 14y agoYou don't have to groom short haired Guinea Pigs, though it is best. If you have noticed they tend to lick their paw and sweep back the hair on their heads sometimes. Which shows that they groom themselves frequently. If you choose not to groom, you may notice that the Guinea Pig will Molt (Leave hair where it sits) on your coach or lap. This doesn't visibly affect your Guinea Pig, but if someone in your household is sensitive to Animal hair, Grooming is a good idea.
