Bathing

[Fanch]

I need to wash my long haired boy, Pumpkin. The only thing I'm worried about is that him and his buddy, Twoonie, can get a little, studly, sometimes.
Should I be worried that if I bathe Pumpkin, then put him back in the cage that they will fight, as Pumpkin will smell different? Should I wash both of them?

I'm not sure if I can answer your question but someone once told me that when you get 2 boars that don't get along, a buddy bath usually helps, so I suggest you put both piggies in the bath together, therefore there is no different smells.

Sorry becuase this is kind of off topic. But my two girls seem to get along fine most of the time, but I was wondering if bathing them might make them feel more comfortable with me? Or do I just need to be patient and let them learn to trust me?

I find bathing makes them nervous, I have to talk them through it. I only bathe if they need it. (Like the long haired pigs tend to need them more often. My long haired boy gets 1 or 2 a year)

Anyone else, I won't do it till I'm sure of my course of action.

okie. Thanks! And good luck with their bath and getting them to get along. I know that when mine even squabble a tiny bit i get nervous.
