Aaaaww, so cute. I'm giving my lot a bath tomorrow. Matilda is the most wriggly out of all my pigs when bathing. She leapt so high out of the sink once that she almost hit the ceiling!

The girls were angels and let me get on with it. Fred on the other hand some of his leaps were impressive. every 3-6 Months i would bath them! The reason they got that bath was because they covered each other in wee and they all stank lol not pleasant!

Oh so sweeeeeeeeeeet! Loving Wilma's lickle paws on your hand, so cute. x)

venice, and Fudge & Rainbow:-

Piggies "should" generally be bathed once every 2-3 months, it helps rid the coat of some types of parasite as well as keeping the skin clean and fresh. I used to bath mine once or twice a year at most and the pigs seemed fine, but since bathing them every 2 months I've noticed a big improvement in the health of their skin and hair. Outdoor pigs have to be bathed more carefully though, they must be 100% dry before they are allowed back outside/in their hutch.

My four shelties (long-haired) are bathed monthly despite having haircuts every 3-4 weeks!
