Hum am I wrong or am I right?

Ok, the girls were smelling more poop than hay. I've read alot about bathing the parents who don't and the parents who do. I took the middle road and gave them a in between bath. Very diluted soap water and their soft bristle brush. They squacked and squelled in protest and I toweled dried them after. They are not soaking wet, but the fur is moist. They are now busy fussing over them selves.

During all their protesting I thought maybe it was a good thing. I have spoiled them and have given them full run. After a couple of months of them rumbling for domanince it was time that they know I'm the Mom. Bad or good idea?

i gave all my piggies a bath when i brought them home with mite shampoo just to be sure nothing was wrong, my gingey just laid there and enjoyed the warmth, i think its good if you bathe them but only when its needed, not too much cause it can damage there skin though.
