I was just wondering how to give my guinea pig a bath. Is there a way?

Well you don't have to. If they stink or give you a rash then yeah you should give them a bath. But otherwise no you don't have to give them baths.

DO NOT USE A DUST BATH!
They have small respiratory systems, it'll get into their lungs.
You can use a light shampoo in just a bowl of warm water. I'd throw some lettuce (green) in the water before the soap, so they have something to nibble. Most of the time, I'd doubt they even need shampoo. But just letting them splash around in the water is good unless they have feces or something in their fur.

I think Guine pigs take dust bathes. I know my chinchilla used to. You can usually get a dust bath at a local pet store.

I did not see it on this site. I would use a dry shampoo. Rabbits freak if bathed.
