After youve bathed your piggies how do * dry them?

Naturally?
Towel?
Hair dryer?
 
I use a towel and then a hair dryer. I then wrap them in a clean fleece and hold them a while to ensure they are warm.
 
Towel and hair dryer on low. We rarely bath our girls only if needed.

Pitch and Putt never had a bath, I would imagine Pitch would have been very unimpressed lol she could be very grumpy.
 
I have never yet had to bath a guinea over the years! Just a quick spot clean if really needed :)
 
My last piggies i used to use a hair drier to get most of moisture away and then keep warm for a few hours till they were fully dry. Not had to bath my current herd yet :))
 
Well delilah likes to sleep in her wee and poo an is smelling a little funky! So needs must haha
 
I would wrap in a towel (and cuddle piggy!), then change the towel every so often for a dry one. If piggy was still a bit damp I'd put them in a cardboard box on a towel wrapped hot water bottle.
One of my pigs loved the hot water bottle bit and would sleep draped over it!
 
I towel dry mine until they are slightly damp to the touch, and then blow dry them on lowest setting to get them almost dry by which poi nt they have had enough and escape back to the cage. We have the heating on and i put heatpads and coseys for them to keep warm x
 
As my piggies live in a shed, I only bathe them during the summer unless it is absolutely necessary.

I towel dry and then leave them in their indoor run with plenty of fleecy beds and snuggle in to and a heater on low if it is a chillier day.

I tried a hairdryer once but Eliza went bonkers so never again. I am yet to bathe new boy Enoch.
 
We towel dry them then use a doggie hair dryer with comb that we got from Lidl last year. It's essential that they're dry before they go back in their run.
 
Mine all get blow dried, they don't seem to mind it too much! Just make sure it's on a low heat and you hold the hair dryer quite far away!
 
I used to use a hairdryer but then I got a new one and it's a bit noisier so now its lots of towel rubbing! I only do it once or twice a year and if I happen to have to do it in winter I pop them on the floor with the electric fire on for a bit.
 
I use a towel to get the worst of the wet, then use the hairdryer on a low setting. That usually dries most of it but I keep them inside in the carry case before I put them back in the shed! Don't want 'them getting a cold especially in the winter months!
 
I towel as much as I can off, then blow dry, keeping the dryer on a low heat and my hand on the pig to make sure it's not getting too hot. Once they are pretty much dry I'll usually shove them up my jumper to keep them warm until they are completely dry :))
