The guinea pigs I rescued Sat are looking pretty rough, having never been groomed in their year of life at the breeders - the long haired girls are thick with matts around their bums - They're all very nervous after travelling here and being somewhere new - what's the least stressful way of cleaning them up? Their claws are also curling under so I've got to clip them first I guess - Hopefully I'll have their permanent accomodation sorted out this afternoon when 3 new cages are delivered, as they're getting stressed from being moved from one cage to another, to a cat carrier etc - One is in a cardboard box at the mo because she wouldn't stop fighting - and she's the most matted of the lot - no wonder she's in a bad mood poor thing
If I dunk her in water will the matt loosen or just get worse? Should I cut it off first? Totally at sea here and dreading getting bitten, having seen what look like rat's teeth but much bigger :shock:
