Yes, with the mildest of soaps, no water in ears, and dont put them in a cool area after...Do it once in while is good, esp if dont brush them.

You don't need to give your cavies baths daily or even weekly baths, but it can be beneficial to give them an occasional one. You have to bath them because it may be that you feel their colors are looking a bit dingy, or they have become stained, or the coat has become greasy. Cavies can also become afflicted by a parasite mite that lives on the hair. These mites can be very persistent and, although they do not seem to harm the guinea pig, it is good to get rid of them.

yes.. and u can even bathe them in the bathroom sink.. mine loves to take a bath.. u can get guniea pig shampoo at any pet store and it makes them soft and they don't smell bad anymore.. but my ginuea pig may just be special because he also likes to sit on the couch with me and watch tv.. depends on ur guniea pig though he may just want to bathe himself so make sure u put a small dish of water in his cage so he can roll around in it on his own or u can try and bathe him urself just make sure the water is luke warm or otherwise ur little guy is gonna cry and scream but most do like a little dip in the sink

Yes but use special soap/shampoo made for them. I have bath my long haired guinea pig quite often or his hair will get matted.

Once in a while we would give ours baths. Like once or twice a year. You can use doggie shampoo. Be sure to blow dry them after so they don't catch cold. But don't put the dryer on too hot and keep it moving so it doesn't burn them.
