Bathing a guinea pig is an important part of their care routine. It helps to keep their skin and coat clean and healthy, and can also help to prevent parasites. Guinea pigs are not naturally inclined to bathe themselves, so it is important for their owners to do it for them.
The best way to bathe a guinea pig is to use a shallow bowl or sink filled with lukewarm water. You should never use hot water, as this can scald your guinea pig’s skin. Gently lower your guinea pig into the water and use a soft washcloth or sponge to soap them up. Be sure to avoid getting soap in their eyes, ears, or nose. Once your guinea pig is soapy, rinse them thoroughly with clean water.
