Bathing Guniea Pigs?

[floozyfairy]

Does anyone bath their guniea pigs and blow dry them ?

Just looking for your thoughts on this.

I do

I know that you're not meant to bath them more than every few months or so mind!

I blow dry mine because one of mine is an aby and so his hair takes forever to dry naturally

ok thx for that

I bath mines once every few months and I dry them with the hairdryer. One doesn't mind and the other one hates it, but she's got long hair so it needs to be done

Haha no worries one is short hair and the other is long hair

Mine have a bath every few months, sometimes more often if they get wet/dirty. Sammy is a sheltie so if he pees when he's on the floor his fur gets wet.
They are actually going to have a bath today because we just got some gorgeous guineas shampoos
I always dry them with a towel and then I let them dry naturally.

If you use a hair dryer on a piggy, use the medium heat setting and direct the warm air through your fingers while combing/fluffing so that you can feel the temperature. Do the rapid wrist twist method so that the heat doesn't have time to build up in one spot. Piggies have been burnt by using hair driers wrongly. Past girls Cupcake and Caron loved the attention on their long hair, they were Divas.
