| Re: nail grooming?
I bathed my piggies in the summer when it's warm and there's no danger of them catching a chill. I also bathed my two newest piggies when I first got them with an special shampoo to remove any bugs that they came with when I rescued them from a friend. Some pigs go mad as they hate water... But most of mine are okay and I think they quite enjoy it to be honest!!
Plus - I have found it's A LOT easier to clip nails when they're nice and supple from being in the warm water!!
Just please make sure the water temperature isn't too hot or too cold and the water depth is only about an inch and a half and please please please don't let the piggy get cold while he's still wet or damp - I had a silly friend bath their piggy and let him get cold. I think it was pneumonia he got and unfortunetly he died. |
