After our informative series of video's about hair styling, we've selected a few video's about keeping your bottoms clean.
short video
Long video
We cannot get Swarfega in the Netherlands. There probably is something similar on the market, but for us the dishwashing soap works well enough. We also really like the idea of distracting us with veggies (short video). Other than that, our procedure is more similar to the long video. So there you have it ;-)
If you like the Gorgeous Guinea Products, you can visit their site here: www.gorgeousguineas.com
We also found a video on anal sack cleaning
for boars
So there you have it.
Have a nice Wheekend!
*evil grin*
Sorry, boys. We do apologize ;-)

Friday Video: Trimming Long Haired Guinea Pigs
There are several ways to cut a long haired guinea pigs' hair. So we've selected several video's that use different techniques.
Trimming with scissors
Trimming with scissors and a comb
Electric clippers
Trimming a guinea pig is not easy. As you can see, there are several ways to do it and we selected these video's because they all had parts that we liked. Even the squirmy pig in video 2, because that's what happens sometimes, especially with some pigs (we are not naming anyone, but you know who you are!)
Our hair stylist told us that she had to use different techniques for every pig that she styled. Jan the Boar really enjoyed his electric clippers. To him, it was just a slightly noisy massage. With Sjeuf, the stylist had to hold her fingers between his skin and the scissors (kinda like video 2, but without the comb) to fool him into being petted instead of getting a haircut (boy was he surprised). Coco is the favorite pig when it comes to hair styling; once she has a big pile of veggies, the hair stylist can do whatever she pleases, just as long as she ends up looking fashionable.

May Queen
The first Monday in May is a holiday in England and is called May Day.
Years ago, people would gather May blossoms and a May Queen would be chosen from each village. Children would dance around a Maypole - a tall pole festooned with ribbons. No doubt festivies ensued which would have included a lot of fun and drinking. Now it is just a day off work.
Our May Queen is Agent Firenze aka Florence.
She was chosen as she was guaranteed to sit still for a photo but Slave did not expect her to gorge herself on May leaves instead of facing the camera! Don't worry readers, May is safe to eat. When Slave was a little girl, she and her friends used to eat May leaves and called it the bread and cheese tree. She tried some just now and thinks that tastes change with age as she could not pick out the flavour that she remembers from her youth.
May is also caled Hawthorn.
Happy May Day from the Piggyfriends.

Friday video: Shh, Bérke is sleeping
Our new boar Bérke will flap with both ears when sleeping...
We would love to see pigtures or videos of you(r piggies) sleeping, cause who can resist that utter relaxation and furry cuteness?
Love the Guinygirlz & Bérke

Friday Video: 8 things your new guinea pig is trying to tell you
What do you think about these tips? Do you have more and/or even better tips for new guinea pig owners? We like how this was filmed, the pigs are very cute, and even though we never wait 2 weeks until introducing us to each other. It can never hurt to err on the side of safety.
Have a nice Wheekend!

Tall, Dark and Handsome
Dear readers of the undercover guinea pigs blog,
My name is Ties (pronounced as Tees. But you can also call me Mister T) and I am the new boar of the Winky team! Allow me to introduce myself. The ladies love me, and I love them even more. I am very cool an nothing much bothers me. Scissors, nails clippers.. No worries. The length of my hair or nails is of no consequence to my attractiveness.
My hobbies are eating, sleeping and wooing girls, and I have to admit, I have Coco, Bo and the waitress firmly wrapped around my cute paws. Mind you, my paws are rather big. The girls have informed me that I qualify as a LAPS pig. I currently weigh 1380 grams, and I fully intend to get larger.
I checked out this blog, and saw that there is already another very handsome boar who contributes to this blog. But I am sure that Agent Zeppelin (aka Jimmy) and me can peacefully coexist. Maybe we should go out for carrot beers and join forces (ladies beware.. WOL).
Yours truly,
Ties
