Shiver

How long do you think guinea pigs should shiver for after getting out the water?

Have you bathed them, are they all dry now? How are they acting? Will they eat?

Yep He's fine now, I posted this right after I wrapped him in a blanket after drying, being a worrywarts. He's wrapped in two blankets and snoozing away. His bottom is a bit damp but no plans to put him in cage until fully dry

Only bathe if absolutely necessary; rather give a bum bath. If it is not warm, place your piggies wrapped in a towel on a snugglesafe that you have microwaved for 1/3 - /12 of the maximum time, so it is just warm, but not hot. That should prevent the shivering.
Also change the towel to a dry one or a fleece once you have patted him down.

Thanks, I'll make sure to remember for the next bath. I rarely bathe Ginny, I think the last time was mid 2016 or before (roughly 1-3 a year) but he was in due of one as his hair was wet from sitting in one spot for too long after passing
