Hey all. We are new members to the guinea pig family. This is our first family pet although my daughter suggests it is her pet. We purchased our new family member at the local pet smart. They were very nice to my daughter and I. We purchased a male that had long black hair with some brown mixed in. We named him BedHead because he looks like my daughter when she wakes up...hair standing up all over the place. He is estimated to be around 4 months old. We have had him for a week. He is very good when we hold him and the kids love to hear the purring and squeaking sounds when he is being petted. When in his cage, he is almost always under his hideout. He also is using the same area to sleep and go to the bathroom. This is causing some serious issues as we don't know how to bathe him. Any suggestions are welcomed to help keep the sleeping area away from the bathroom.
