Do I bathe both of them together or can I wash one of them at a time? I've watching youtube videos on how to bathe a guinea pig. I just found one a petsmart...it leaves a fragrance...is this ok? it says it is for small animals.
Nope..this would be my first piggy bathing experience with the both of them. I will check out the store tomorrow for the shampoo
You're supposed to bathe them together, that way they're both kind of freaked out and forget about fighting. Make sure not to get any water in their eyes, nose or ears. When you're done bathing them and they're completely dried off do the introduction again how you normally would. The bathing is supposed to make them smell the same and pretty much scare them into bonding. (I know that probably sounds kind of bad. lol)
Give this a read if you haven't already. The buddy bath part is near the bottom of the page: http://cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm#Introductions
I've read this already, but thank you though

LOL ...scaring them to bond together seems a little wacky, but hey...if it will work..i will give it a chance

Do you have anything deep enough to bathe them in that they can't jump out of (but still have enough room in)?
When I first bathed George I had no idea what to expect and he jumped right out of the bath tub. He was alright, no worries there although it was really scary, but now I bathe him in a big sink we have downstairs and I haven't had to worry about it since.
Squeaky Clean is an okay brand to use. I'm fairly certain that [MENTION=13820]bpatters[/MENTION] uses it.
Wonderful! I can pick it up tomorrow
It may not be necessary, but i don't think it would hurt if you did.
I hope 3rd time is the charm.
Thank you for all your advice it really helped
