BTW your guinea pig is extremely cute! And, now I get why you used dish soap. Do you know exactly where the grease gland is, because it sounds important to clean, but I've never heard of it before, and I don't think I've washed my guinea pigs there. :)
you might like to know that baby shampoo is also excellent for guinea pigs, but dish soap probably is too strong and different from body soaps. Just to be helpful. :)
@Carlvideos66 yeah, I use it, but you have to make sure it is mild and gentle, and that you don't leave any in his fur after you take your guinea pig out of the bath because it can really dry his/her skin if left in. :)
Ok I gotta ask this because no matter how I research, I can't find out what that nub is in the back of my piggies. I have three boys, so is that their grease gland, the one that they rub on your carpet as to mark a territory with? Awesome vid & cute piggy. Ginney & shadow love baths, but pnut still getting use to it...lol!! Piggy love for ever!! Peace!!
Man, I really wish I would have known this! I had a male piggy a few years ago (same breed as yours with the cute messy hair) and couldn't figure out why his bottom was always so greasy because I bathed him regularly. He also kept getting impactions.
this is so helpful! I just got my first 2 males. and they were neglected so their nails were terrriiblle and I had to clip them and one of thems grease glands was soooooo bad. so I had to watch this before i gave him a bath. thankkkks :D
Guinea pigs need the greace gland. In the himalayas where guinea pigs are raised to eat food scraps, i doubt their pigs ever see the light of water yet the still live full 8 years.
You should NOT use dawn or other chemicle cleaners to clean the grease gland. They are too drying. You should use an oil to get rid of a grease. Coconut oil is fantastic and it is natural so its non drying AND ediible!!! then you don't have to bathe your piggy. Just take a tooth brush with a bit on it and brush the spot (its not the butt is on the spine where his tail would be) in the direction of the hair. Don't use too much as you will have to wash your piggy...
all my piggies love taking a bath, except for Ishia, my agoti.. you can check out my video of mimi taking a bath. btw nice cute piggies you have.. its a lot =)
@ChuAndConnor some piggies glands are worse than others, and dirty the fur around it if they're not cleaned. generally males are worse, but females can also get a dirty gland
Hey I cant find Rhino's grease gland??? Please help because I need to know because he's never had a bath in his life!!! He's 1 and 3 months I think because the person we got him from didn't know.
@internetnerds4 yah, that's what i thought too. i also herd that u can't use dwan ( or it might be dial idk ) because if they lick it, they can go into a coma. :o
aww, he sat very still compared to a cat! XDlol! i washed my cat last night, as well as triming some split ends on her fur( she has REALLY long fur ). my friend slept over and helped. then she got peed on by my cat in the process and the cat excaped in the rush of cleaning my friend up. she ran downstairs, all covered in bubbles and we caught her and rinsed her off and dryed her off. if only my cat would sit still. XD
Hey, I don't know if this spot on my guinea pig is his grease gland? I found a little bald spot but I thought something happened to him, but their seems to be no scars, or scabs/blood near the spot. Btw its toward his "fanny". LOL xD
sooooooooooooooooo cute plz sub back!

Had no idea o.o; i assumed DAWN was mild enough for piggies not to irrate or dry there skin out x.x;;
Cos they use this when they save the animals from oil spills x.x;;; thx for the info :) will remember this if i ever get a piggy :3
