Bum bath?

[brillmini]

Hello

I really could do with washing Fudges bum she's not really long haired but quite long haired around her bum and it's going a yellowy colour where she sits in here wee (bless her!). She's only now 8wks old so not sure if it's a good idea as I saw some small pet shampoo and said from 12wks onwards. I've tried wiping it with cotton wool and warm water but didn't work. She doesn't smell but it doesn't look very nice.

Any advice would be great

I've never needed to shampoo a baby pig myself but Gorgeous Guineas does a gentle shampoo which is designed especially for "Mini-Pigs" (under 12 weeks of age), which you can buy in a small trial size.

Pet Shop shampoos can be very harsh - I definitely wouldn't use it on an 8wk old.

Can you use pet wipes ? Not sure what the age restrictions are on this but I have used them on my long haired piggies nether regions between baths.
My Aby's have bum baths |) and I use Johnson's Insecticidal shampoo - it's brilliant and leaves their hair sooo soft and fluffy x) Gorgeous Guineas do a range of shampoos which I tried but someone recommended the Johnson's.
Just checked the ages for these and it is 12 weeks onwards
I've seen this in pet stores but again, don't know the ages it can be used from:
