Look at my beautiful boy. We're expecting a phone call from a shampoo company any day now. Grin. I'd totes buy anything he advertised!

He was a fairly short haired strawberry blond when we got him then that happened!

Any tips for best looking after his 'do? We’ve just had a traumatic evening washing his butt hair and trimming it, such a drama queen!

I used to use a bikini trimmer to do my pigs bum hair, worked a treat and was over before she knew it. lol

He’s 9.5 months. Still got growing time Shock!

I’ve never used a bikini trimmer, I’d be scared to use on my pig. Just need to get my DH to volunteer as a 'guinea pig' so I can get some practise in. Grin

I have just showed this to all my family and we all think that he is amazing

Beaverhausen · 01/10/2018 22:17

I used to have peppa on her back legs akimbo and wizz away before she knew it it was all done :).

Just get him half comatose with a good ol belly rub and chin tickle and then go for it.

You’ve all made my DS's day. I read him the comments before bed and he’s dead chuffed.

Technically they’re his pigs so he gets to bask in the piggy praise, but really they’re mine 'cause I love them the mostest, no matter what he claims!

Beaver, I’d lose a finger if I tried to rub his belly! He used to let me but now I get The Look of Betrayal along with a squeal of righteous indignation.

I’ve got two long haired pigs, although not like your pig. They’re constantly getting big tangled knots of fur and wee and woodshavings and hay. It’s gross. They do NOT like having them cut out.

PseudoBadger · 03/10/2018 12:57

Wow!

Buggerbrexit · 06/10/2018 01:04

Wow! Mine are similar but half his size (and hair!). I use men’s hair clippers on their butts (they cry) and thinning scissors. It’s traumatic and I wish I could pay someone to do it for me, but it just about works.

They’re beautiful, Bugger. I love that yours too have ginger faces and blond everywhere else!
Your pair look silky smooth. 😍

She was beautiful beaver. Ten years old is impressive for a guinea!
