Have you ever had an occasion where you’ve been cuddling a guinea pig and all of a sudden it has taken a liking to your hair?
I can’t say it has happened to me as my hair is way too shot for my piggies to go for, and it’s getting shorter by the day as well!

Guinea pigs are not supposed to eat human hair or any kind of hair for that matter.
