My female guinea pig likes to pull the hair of my other females and eat it. It doesn’t really seem to bug or hurt them much, they jump and run away but thats it. What could her problem be? I dont know what to do.

You've got a barber pig. There's nothing to be done.

They're fine. If the pigs that are being barbered have long hair, you might keep their hair short to prevent a possible hairball in the barber pig. That doesn't happen very often, but it can occur.
