You can also use shampoo especially made for guinea pigs and other small animals. After that I rinse it off, and dry him with a towel. If it is too cold I put him against a hairdryer on low 6-8 inches away.
After his bath, I spray him with this stuff that makes him smell good and brush his hair with a slicker. If he is nervous I give him wood to chew on. You can also bathe them in the winter and fall. Hope I helped! |
Thats alittle to often for baths! Only 3-4 times a year. And you should always use shampoo used for small animals, but no medications or anyhting! Baby shampoo is not very good! 4-Paws Bunny Bath is great!
