Grooming New Zealand Peruvian

Grooming Guide

  • Daily grooming is needed for the New Zealand Peruvian Guinea Pigs.  This includes combing their hair to prevent knots

  • If you do not exhibit your NZ Peruvian in a pedigree show it is recommended to give your guinea pig hair trims, especially around the bottom where it can get dirty and wet if left alone.  Hair trims should be done every 2-4 weeks.

  • If you are showing your Peruvian at a pedigree show you do not want to give hair trims and will need to spend more time at trying to keep the hair clean and knot free.  This includes paper wrapping
