Re: How often do you bath your guinea pig?

Grooming usually I do everyday, I haven't actually bathed mine yet - he's 5 months old on Tuesday I'm not sure when they need it :/ I usually just do it when they're smelly or mucky etc... lol

Re: How often do you bath your guinea pig?

I only have done it once in the two years ive had mine i found as long as there groomed and cleaned out regulally they dont really need it. Mine when i did do him squealed the place down. He wasnt impressed at all.

Talking Re: How often do you bath your guinea pig?

I only bath my guinea pigs when they are dirty but as they clean themselves any way (or each other) you don't usually have to bath them very often. i have only cleaned them once. =] hope that helps! x
