He said: 'We wanted to help Kenya get more comfortable with Skai, so Makayla placed the guinea pig on Kenya's shoulder, and when we went to grab her, she started crawling up the back of Kenya's wig.
'We all started laughing and then proceeded to help get the guinea pig out of the wig.
'The guinea pig was removed unharmed and it was a funny experience.'
