yours is a peruvian? did u buy a brush or comb to brush her fur? usually my long haired piggies shed a lot...i tik it's ok. I tik your Peru has a number of rosettes rite? probably it's a mixed cos usually peru should only have two rosettes on the butt & a whorl on the head so the hair tends to grow towards the front. When the hair is long, it will fall down straight from the side so it actually looks very neat...but since yours has a number of rosettes...it will always have that untide look...hahaha...my chickadee has the same problem & she looks very messy. When u find the hair too long, u can trim it yourself....very easy to managed.

Actually quite easy leh . But u will need a Flea comb , a metal tip brush wit rounded tip can liao !
Though mine hair not yet tt long like urs .... it's still abt 4 cm long . After bath , i use a hair dryer n my fingers 2 run through her fur . When it's quite dry liao , i use the flea comb 2 untangle any mated hair ..... ( wit hair dryer on ) . Lastly i use the brush 2 brush downwards neatly , done liao !

aye.. i use the small animal therapy beauty lotion.. this helps to minimise the drying cause by bathing.. i use gentle the baby johnson's body bath thingy that babies use.. its really getntle on the skin and fur.. so doesn't cause drying.. i noe many people use this too.. hehe
Pixie also has the same problem.. with the messy hair... so i rub the lotion after the bath blow dry her then comb my fingers thru her fur... but seldom tangle though..
