Question So I was holding one of my piggles...

and it crawled up and sat on my shoulder and I hear this weird noise in my ear and then I realized she was eating my hair! I picked her up and had to pull a clump of my hair out of her mouth. What's that all about?? Now when I put my hair up I have this shorter bit that won't stay up LOL

My piggie does that too. I don't know why they do that. My hair is a little like straw, I guess!!! LOL

My piggie does that, and she also loves to eat the tassles on the pillow which is on the sofa. My other piggie is also constantly trying to climb up my shoulder or up the back of the sofa so she can pee.

Re: So I was holding one of my piggles...

The other day, my Abby was eating a piece of parsley during lap time and all of a sudden I felt a tug on my shirt. I looked down to see her pull a small bead of my shirt. I tried to get it, but she swallowed it!

I can't believe the things they try to eat! The other day Abby tried to eat a safety pin. I got that from her but she was trying to eat it right off of the towel it was on!

Guinea pigs groom one another. Especially long-haired ones--they keep one another's hair trimmed! My boys have tried that on me, too.

If you look here it's called barbering: Guinea Lynx :: Hair Loss

They can do it to themselves, or each other.

Scroll up and down to see other causes of hair loss.

Funny thread. Maybe you guys should stop using such good-smelling, fruity (hopefully not something that smells like veggies) shampoos? ha!

Re: So I was holding one of my piggles...

Our boy Peppers was on the bed with me and my 4 year old daughter. She had just taken a bath and we have to use detangling shampoo for her long hair. Of course, it was strawberry scented. All of a sudden she exclaimed "Mom Peppers has my hair in his mouth!" When I pulled it out, he had chewed off a section about 2-3 inches long. But her hair is so long, thankfully you couldn't tell.
