| Keeping Facial Hair Clean Does anyone have any advice on how to keep the facial hair on our YT clean? I do admire all the beautiful photos I see here with long hair, but I am having a difficult time keeping Remi's relatively short hair around his mouth from being matted and sticky. Thanks! |

| What helped us was to switch from water bowls to water bottles. Also, whenever they eat softer foods, wash and comb their face right afterward to keep it from getting crusty

| I agree with LunasMomma I keep mine short and I try to wash their faces everyday with a soft washcloth and warm water. I keep meaning to try the water bottles too~ |

| LOL, I always count on their water bowls to help me with keeping the food of of their face. I have tried baby wipes but nothing works as well as a warm damp washcloth for me. Sugar's hair is super thick so for him I wash it, comb it and then run a flea comb through to catch the remaining bits.
