Guinea pigs can be bathed with baby shampoo, but they can't be bathed with other
human shampoos because they could contain ingredients and substances that can
irritate, damage, or dry out a guinea pig's skin.

Can a guinea pig use baby shampoo for a bath?
Guinea Pigs should be bathed in low, warm water, with baby shampoo. Hold your Pig while bathing, or put in a little basket so then you can wash him/her easier. Keep the water/soap out of his/her eyes, and when your done dry her/him.Conditioner is not really needed, your Guinea shouldn't get knots in its fur or anything. Shampoo should work fine. Special Guinea Pig made soap, or shampoo is okay, but make sure not to get any in it's eyes. Johnson's shampoo I do not recommend, because some of the contents could hurt your Guinea. Get the 'Tear Free' kind, and that should be great.
