Bacon decided to trample through some pee, leaving his coat gross and mucky
So I took him to the bathroom, filled the bath 1 or 2cm with warm water (not too warm since it’s already really hot) and washed his fur, did it quickly so I don’t have any pictures, but he was happy with his cherry tomato at the end!

That's nice..did he wriggle about much or quite happy for the wee pamper?

😊
 
He was quite happy, I didn’t use shampoo or anything, since I don’t have any for piggies. So I just used water
He just sat still and let me bathe him, then I took him out and put him straight on a towel and kept him there until he was fully dry
 
I’m still working towards a bum bath. My white piggies hair is messy at the back but HATES his bum getting brushed or wet. I try to cut out the tats but it’s just squeaks and wriggles.image.webp

My two are quite happy having a bum bath, they hate the towel wrapping afterwards!

Kanga is the opposite, she hates having a wash but loves being snuggled up in a towel afterwards.
She is a messy pig so has had several baths. Fortunately it's just her back end as I doubt she'd put up with a full bath! I have enough trouble keeping her in it as it is.

Hello,

Below, I have enclosed a photo of my boy Finn in his tunnel, which I use when he gets his bum hair cut. He lets me cut his bum hair in his tunnel. I do understand what you mean by they won't let you touch their bum hair. I don't have photo of his bum in this tunnel, but I will try to make one next time.

I just took this picture for you so you can see. My boy Finn is in his tunnel, which is now put into a plastic bin for bum haircut. This is the only way my Finn will allow me to work on cutting his bum hair, in his tunnel. I then cut his rest of his hair while he walks around the plastic bin. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that he does complain during his nail cut as well as his hair cut.
 
Here is after my boy Finn's bum hair cut.
Warning--doesn't look very professional but it will do.

Thanks I’ll have to try something like that with him!

Aw, that’s such a beautiful coat, he looks pretty good if he’s white and long haired x

Until you see underneath that layer 😂 there is clumps of hair that would look so much better chopped off but I don’t want him moving and accidentally cutting his tail or something!
