pets - Making Sure Your Pet Guinea Pig is Groomed Properly

One of the most important chores when grooming your pet, is definitely the trimming of the nails. Pet owners with wooden floors are likely to hear the long nails on their pet very clearly, as they tick, tick, tick when they walk. This usually means more than an irritating noise, it also means the time has come to groom your pet and trim his nails. Trimming of the nails is very important since they can be painful on your pet when he walks, and in some cases they can prove to be dangerous and cause unfortunate accidents, either on purpose or by mistake. We are not going to even start talking about what long nails in your pet can do for your carpet and furniture.

Professional pet groomers active in the trade use special tools for clipping nails on felines and canines. The trimmer tool must be able to surround the nail completely, never in an angle but straight all around. In order to attempt this at home you must be trained in some aspects of nail clipping.

First, you should know how far you can go in relation to length, and where to apply a cut. The secret is to identify the cuticle and not cut into it. There are veins, blood vessels and nerve endings that run part way up the nail. If you should cut into this area by accident, there will be bloodshed and a great deal of pain involved. The case may also be one in which your pet shows some discomfort because your cut was too close to this area.

Parents of children who have trouble concentrating and committing to specific tasks should seek out the short hair variety. Shorter hair translates into less grooming efforts, since their hair will not mat into hair knots impossible to groom. In order to adapt to the child’s level of agility and reflexes, get a soft brush, perhaps with plastic bristles in order to go easy on the animal’s skin.

A simple way to supply them with additional room and more opportunities to get their necessary exercise is to build their hutch 2 levels high. The two levels can be accessed by way of a wire ramp that permits the bunny to scurry to the top or bottom level as desired. This will boost the size of their living area while not requiring any more square footage in the yard.

Mistake #3: Not Constructing a Sufficient Number of Solid Walls

Rabbits need sunshine and clean air, but too much direct sun or wet weather can injure or kill them. Rabbits hutches having only 1 plywood wall will subject your animal to possibly harmful climate conditions. Harsh winds, rain, and snowfall can be kept out of the hutch with 3 solid sides and a solid covering (roof).

In addition, bunnies are not able to stand high temperatures and need a shady place to escape from the harsh sunshine. By placing the hutch appropriately and creating it with a sufficient number of protective sides, the bunny can remain reasonably unaffected by the climate conditions.

In general, guinea pigs don’t need a lot of brushing; they don’t need to be bathed and don’t even require their nails to be clipped. A common problem with guinea pigs is their smell. It is important to teach the child to keep clean bedding at all times or the odor will become intolerable. Overall grooming a guinea pig is light and effortless. You are likely to spend more time playing pet games with your pig than anything else.
