Bathing a Guinea Pig

[narwhalsarerangas]

my guinea pig loves to bite and lick my fingers when he's hungry

[paulrose007]

the furry critters are amazing i had mine rfor about a year .so when i got him i asked how to clean him and if i could get him wet or wash in i heard that they can get wet tail and now i just use a powder sampoo and it works great i just don't want to hurt him or any thing

[heypeople0419]

my guinea pig HATESSS baths. i gave him one in the bathtub and jumped out., onto me, getting me covered in soap.

[samloveshorses100]

Is it ok to use the shampoo from pet stores ? I think its called Critter shampoo's made by super pet.

Why Cant You Get There Heads Wet'? :) Please Reply

[ElectricEpidemic]

@GunieaPigXoXo It could hurt their eyes especially if you get soap in them.. Also you could get water in their ears.

[guineapiglover29]

ummm i dont think you should put your guinea pig under the sink it is verry scary for them. i say put a small bath towel in the bath tub and fill the bath tub up to the end of your finger nail the sound of the water on the scares them a hole bunch.......just saying

[smurfsrule08]

@Tammy2991 her guinea pig died olive did. so did Dingo but Aussie is still alive

[Khrissi101pooh]

@SmallPetChannel

hes so cute!!!

[TheAbbiexD]

Is it true if they get water in there ears or in their faces it can kill them?

[vidiomaster303]

I'm getting a piggy soon, and it's my first time. Yes i have a dog, but shes very laid back, and she wont even harm a fly. Im thinking of getting a textle or those long haired piggys. How should i tame it? Im 12. But i have patience and i will let it calm down, and get used to everything. What should i feed it? How long do they live? And what cage would you suggest, because i would want something that would give my piggy alot of room. Thanks.

I nearly flipped when you shoved it underneath the sink water. Then I saw he didn't mind it and it's just like a shower. So. I kinda slapped myself. (mentally)

[Margalicious97]

can you use baby shampoo on rats?

[007ibz]

The questions really helped cause my guinea is only 1 month old so I don't need to bath him

[webkinzkinzy]

Question : my gym coach is giving me her guinea pig tonight and she said that Martina (the guinea pig) Hates bathes and being cold. But my mamma said I have to so she doesn't stink up the house.

:]

[zone935]

i use L'Occitane(Shea butter) to shower my guinea pig!!

[MrKingsterz]

do you bath your piggy every day? ? ?

[SmallPetChannel]

@MrKingsterz No, only about every 3 months for my short hair pigs.

[kassidyrose777]

@SmallPetChannel no 

[animalife123]

@kassidyrose777 Yes, you dont bathe your guinea pig everyday only 1-2 months for short haired but for long haired about once a month ;)

[kassidyrose777]

@MrKingsterz no at least 3 1ce a week

[SmallPetChannel]

@kassidyrose777 If you bathe your guinea pig every week, their skin will be stripped of natural oils. Please don't give out false information on my videos.

[SmallPetChannel]

@coky324 It keeps their feet comfortable.

[mollyrexy]

@SmallPetChannel not only young guinea pigs cuz mine is def not young o and btw ur gp is so nice in this vid

[SmallPetChannel]

@mollyrexy yeah, olive is such a sweetie(:

[doodrop4547]

What if your guinea pig is 3 months but she's really small, should I still bathe her?

[SmallPetChannel]

@doodrop4547 Females are usually smaller so you should probably wait until 4 months just to let her immune system build more.

[doodrop4547]

@SmallPetChannel

Okay thank you! :)

[mollyrexy]

Ok so every guinea pig has mites living in their fur and they live peacefully until the guinea pig's body chemistry changes, then they attack and irritate the gp's skin. A way to tip the balance of your gp's chemistry is to bathe them too often. I made this mistake and my gp got mites but now he's all better, what I'm saying is to not bathe them too often

[SmallPetChannel]

@mollyrexy Like I said, only bathe them when necessary (which is usually every 3 months). Only young guinea pigs have mites living in their fur. Usually when they are 4 years old they go through a senior stage and their bodies release hormones that kill bacteria.

very helpful! what songs were they though :)

[taylorinna]

why dont you just find the right water temperature THEN put the towel in and stop it? hahah ;D
