Bathing Piggies

[court29x]

My two girlies are just over 2 months of old and I was wondering whether I should start bathing them? I never bathed past guinea pigs I owned and they never had any complications but I'm just wondering whether I should have? Also how often should I bathe them? Thanks!

it is not necessary to bathe piggies. I do that once a month and when they are dirty, but only because it is quite necessary...
I put the piggie into the sink with some cm of warm water. I use a natural soap and then I gently rinse her with clear warm water using a bowl, as she is afraid of the noise of the water from the tap. Then I gently put her into the basin with warm water, only because soap sometimes remains through her fur.
