How do you do bath time with 2 pigs. Do you do them both separately or at the same time? And also how much of a fuss will they make afterwards. With mounting eachother and stuff rolleyes
 
I personally bath them seperately, but that's because I use a washing up bowl. Plus, my piggies hate the water, so you will need both hands to stop them running away! With Bernadette I actually needed my OH to help me!
You could physically put them in the bath if you are bathing 2 together, and use a jug of water: that way they can't get out, and you don't have to worry about catching them. I've found that post bath, they're normally too freaked out to bother with each other and just want to be left alone as they're miserable :p

Oh the bath might be a good idea :) Usually McMac isn't too bad as long as I reassure him and make him feel safe, haven't seen what Sprout will be like though!
 
Junior never used to mind, but now he's worked out he can get out of the bowl if he climbs high enough, so I might need to use the bath too! :p
 
Just gave them a bath in the tub and Sprout was really relaxed and well behaved :)) It was no biggy for him. McMac was the one squeling and trying to run away rolleyes ah well lol

Also do you have any idea when a boars grease gland starts needing to be washed? Just so I know when Sprout needs it since his bum is all grease free
