Cavies can, on occasions, suffer from dry skin. However, regular bathing should help to keep a cavies skin healthy. On the other hand, bathing too often may have the opposite effect. Bathing should not occur more than once a month.

Dandruff can occur - a bit of bepanthen salve or mild aloe vera baby should do the trick. It's not uncommon behind the ears.

However, it's worth if notice a fair amount of dandruff to always check for mites or fungus.
