How Old Before Bath Time?

[Tbag]

Just wondering how old a piggie should be before getting a bath?
I don't bath regularly (only ever washed Tango and Cash twice, once for dirt and once for lice) but there has been some epic dominance/territorial peeing going on recently and the guys stink! Especially Wyatt the little monster!

He's coming up to 6 months now - is that still too young? I'm very hesitant because of his age but if it is ok I'd like to try get a wash in before the weather really turns.

6 months should be fine, I don't think there is a minimum age to start bathing, but it's best to only bath if necessary. Get your bathing spree out the way, while you can let them dry off in the fresh air!

Agreed, any age bathing is fine I'm sure as long as over 6 weeks old . I agree with bathing while its warmer, best get it done with before it gets too cold. Good luck! x

Thanks! I thought it'd be fine but better safe than sorry.

He does really enjoy sitting in his water bowl so I'm hoping there won't be any hysterics!
