Don't bathe them more often than necessary, but it is okay to bathe them in moderation. Fill your bathroom sink with about an inch of warm water and use some baby shampoo, being careful not to get it on their heads (you don't want to cause an ear/eye/respiratory infection). After you've rinsed them off well, bundle them up in an old towel and cuddle them to keep them warm until dry. Lots of luck to you.

I owned a chinchilla before, they love to take there bath in a bowl of dust. You can buy it in the pets shop. And I had friend who give the hamster a water bath before and she use hair dryer to dry the hamster. They was find and happy about it. And she even water bath a rabbit too. As long as I know, you can take water bath with your guinea pigs and just need to blow dry him with low heat, and you can also try to give them a bowl of dust to see will they jump in and spin around it. Last also find out what is the best way to take bath for your pets by "ask" someone from the pets shop.

Any of those mixtures could be high quality yet once you get certainly one of each, you will the two ought to get the male neutered, or keep them in separate cages (or one cage with a separator down the middle). I actual have 3 female guinea pigs and that all of them get alongside high quality. They do in some circumstances chase one yet another and chatter their enamel (sign of dominance/aggression), yet no longer something serious. men can combat in some circumstances, in spite of the fact that it relies upon on the character of the pigs. In asserting that nonetheless, female guinea pigs can combat besides. frequently, an older boar with a infant (decrease than 6 months) boar ought to get alongside high quality, or as somebody else stated, in the event that they're from an identical clutter. On some events, 2 boars around an identical age can get alongside, as I stated till now, it relies upon on their character. in case you undertake from a guard, they should help you trial some GPs jointly to work out in the event that they gets alongside. interior the top, it rather is fullyyt as much as you which ones pairing you get. the two men and ladies are staggering and cuddly and could make great pets.

Don't bathe your pets unless you really have too! It can scare them and not trust you.
I sugguest brushing them and using a product from super pet that is called instant shampoo. Its a spray that cleans your animal without water. Only use products for rodents, shampoo used on cats and dogs could irrated them.
If you have to bathe them use a super pets squeaky clean critter shampoo. But dry them really well and keep them warm if the weather is cool.

Yes use warm water and a mild shampoo on them. Dry them properly or they can get sick. Fill the sink only a tiny bit, get them wet, and shampoo them up. Dry them well and keep them warm. Try and only bathe them when its warm out .

We have pet rats and we give them baths now and then. We use a gentle small animal shampoo with little water in the sink. I would call your local vet, someone who deals with small or exotic animals.

use a wet towel and just like, kinda wipe them down i guess. cause if you put them in the water, they have a greater chance of drowning.
and after you use the towel, grab a dry towel and rub them dry or use a hair dryer. but if you use a hair dryer, make sure it's on the lowest it can (although hair dryer aren't recommended cause it might damage their hearing.) Make sure they're completely dry or else they'd get sick
