    Saskia from LA Guinea Pig Rescue recommends baths every 3 months. She has taken care of literally thousands of pigs so we trust her advice. Here is a video for reference:

    My Guinea pig died last year, and this video brought back a lot of memories. He hated baths. He would always scramble up me onto my shoulder the second he was out of the sink. I had to catch him because he would just throw himself off of the counter. They’re such lovely creatures even though they’re not very intelligent, and anyone who says hamsters or rats are better has never been truly loved by a Guinea pig.

    this is amazing and super help full! i just wanna point out a few things! (not hating!!)
    1. you don’t need to bathe a guinea pig. in fact, you should really only bathe them if they get muddy, or have like a pimple or somthing that popped.
    2. just make sure they are comfortable with the bath. DO. NOT. FORCE. especially if you are trying to become friends with the little piggie!!
    3. second to last thing. make sure there is not so much bubbles that the little guy/girl is like, physically breathing in toxins. :)
    4. and butternut is adorable, you are being incredible calm, gentle, and kind to her. :)

    My piggy was rather nervous during his first bath, but that was easily dealt with with some veggies lol. Food distractions always work with piggies! He was shivering a lot after it though, even though it was a warm day, and we were inside, so i cuddled him and warmed him up for hours until he stopped shaking. I was so worried! Hes perfectly fine, but piggies get pneumonia easily so i was extra careful.
    Your buddy seems to be dealing with the odd sensations of water and soap really well!! Absolutely adorable!!

    Beautiful video! Diluting shampoo in the water is really sensible. Behind the ears is fine, but IN the ears is not! Loved how your quiet, gentle approach kept your piggy calm. I wouldn't advise routinely washing every 3 months unless your piggy has a particular problem with scurfy skin, mites or dirty backside - it interferes with the natural oils in their coat.

      @Jeremattress 4 года назад +10

      Also make sure they have a decently sized cage. They need lots of room to roam around whether they are on the floor or not. Make sure you buy a good bit of timothy hay. And Guinea pigs don't need baths as much as dogs and cats do. They clean themselves. Mist rescues recommend bathing them once or twice a year, or when a vet recommends it. Idk which bedding you're gonna buy, but make sure you clean the cage at least 2 or three times a week. Owning a piggie is hard work financially and physically. I hope you're ready for your piggie adventure!!!

    I thought you weren't supposed to bathe them because they clean themselves and because it removes their natural oils. I've had my guinea pigs for two years and have never given them a bath and they're fur looks nice and healthy.

      @valvoid7306 4 года назад +19

      @@meganacosta4445 I suggest only bathing where it’s dirty, be absolutely careful not to get soapy water in the guinea pig’s eyes, you can gently wipe the head if it has yellow stains on the head or the back, if wipes don’t work don’t scrub, gently massage *safe* soap in the guinea pigs fur where it is dirty, make sure the water isn’t hot or too cold, and you can try to feed your guinea pig in bath time to calm it
      Edit: If your guinea pig is easily frightened I suggest only soaking the tummy, and not covering the guinea pig with water.

      They are just like baby hoomuns, it's all about the rinse cycle. I've needed to use deodorant soap a couple of times when my piggies sat in pee-pee or melon juice, to break-down the urine and get rid of the smell. Just rinse and repeat rinsing...
