Today, I gave all the piggies a bath! I also got a new camera, so this was the perfect opportunity to try it out! I still have to adjust the lighting a bit, but they still came out pretty good.

ahhh so cute! I'm thinking of giving mine a bath soon, do you think a sink would be better for their first bath, I worry the bath might seem a little scary with a little water in?
 
Thanks :)

For a first bath, a sink would probably be the best. Mine are all used to baths, so having baths in the tub doesn't bother them :)
 
Aww lovely piggies! I love freshly bathed pigs x) Mine are due a bath as well, may do it tomorrow!

Sink or a washing up bowl is good for the first time, lets you keep a better grip on them :)
 
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wet piggies! x) x) x) x) Gorgeous photos hun! Thank you for sharing! :))
 
Heeyy

Awww :)) They are too cute:D Do you treat skinny pigs the same as guinea pigs? Haha I know random :(|)

Skinnies are a bit different than regular piggies. They need more food, because of their higher metabolism, which causes them to poo more, which causes them to need more cage clean-outs :)) They still act the same, although they get cold way more easily :) They also need to live indoors.
 
Great bath piccies.
 
Aww so cute! My two younger boys had their baths today so they are all nice and clean and fluffy now.


Also, as said previously, a sink or a washing up basin would probably be best for the first bath. I still do mine in a basin and they've had plenty of baths now, just they like to squirm and flail about, so find it easier doing it that way.
 
Thanks everyone!

I won't lie, I was a bit taken-a-back the first time I ever saw a 'Skinny pig'! But Willow is gorgeous, she has amazing eyes! x)

Baths are not their favorite, but they will stay in :) Willow really doesn't mind, since she drys off after a few minutes. The other poor piggies take longer to dry :))
