Genitals Aren't you supposed to clean a male guinea pig's glands?

Wow, what a good video, I need to do this with my boys. I am sure Gandalf's is GROSS! I just been to nervous to try it. But with the videos it made it look a littler easier then I thought! haha Frodo may be a bit harder as he is not comfy being held at all!

My friends still make fun of me and I often hear "Charlie what is that on your pee pee "

CanadianComforts- Great video!
How often should I clean my male guinea pig's genitals? And I know females are different, but should I do a quick and soft cleaning, sense they do have some stuff?

Thanks!
I would do it once a month unless it looks bad. That's what I do. Once a month nail clipping, sack cleaning torture.

Aww, you have guineas named Gandalf and Frodo? CUTE!!! I LOVE those books, although I've only read The Hobbit.
Yes, yes, I know. NOT a related subject, lol!

Oh, geesh. So, will this and cleaning the grease gland help a little with the stink? (please say "yes") It*is*nasty!

I caution against cleaning the sac unless the pig actually needs it. You don't want to cause undue stretching of the sac.

Most pigs go their whole lives without needing their grease glands cleaned. You only clean them if they get gunky.
