I really wanna give Toby a bath cause he smells lol but he had ivermectin 2 days ago I would avoid the neck area when should I bath him?

P.S Heidi had her first bath today lol so cute, pics soon :P and I'm gettin a new piggy! A woman I know breeds them and they are a week old litter so need to wait another 3 weeks but they are gorgeous! x)
 
I think 4 weeks seems young, I'm not prepared to rehome any of my bubs untill at least 6 weeks
 
i have to say i had max at nearly 5 weeks, and he was absolutely fine, it actually helped with the bonding. They said 4-6 weeks are the best age to bond a male piggie with another.
 
I think it depends on the indivdual baby guineas, some are too small to be rehomed - mine are definately as they were from a very young sow. In that case I wouldn't rehome till 6 weeks.

Perhaps 5 weeks is acceptable in some cases but never younger.

As for the ivermectin/bathing issue, you should wait 48 hours before bathing
