How old is a guinea pig when old enough to swim?

Guinea pigs generally don't like water, so you shouldn't make them swim. Never put a guinea pig in water that is too deep (ie the pig can't stand in it). Be very careful not to get any water in the pig's ears. It's not necessary to bathe young guinea pigs. If you neeed to bathe them for some reason, wait until they're at least 6 months old.the person who has writen that answer is very smart. I'm a guinea pig expert and I totally agree with his or her answer. it is sensible and remember they can swim but they don't like to so don 't try it at home!
