skin when it's bathed with the shampoo.

Do you need give a guinea pigs a bath?
There are many different opinions on this. Some books say that they clean themselves fine but if you find that they are getting dirty then you should give them a bath. I also read a book that say that you should give a guinea pig a bath about once every three weeks and it helps to prevent skin diseases. That's what I do but it said that you have to use either special guinea pig shampoo or a mild scalp shampoo (mild baby shampoo is what I use).

What can you use to wash your guinea pig besides guinea pig shampoo?
You can use any type of cat shampoo. I have a caramel colored guinea pig named caramel and we used baby shampoo instead. It has to be a very mild type of shampoo, because it may be too harsh for their fur. I also suggest that you wash them once a month. Be careful when washing them, because they will squirm.
How often can you give a guinea pig a bath and do they like it?
I suppose there is no limit, provided the guinea pig is showered and dried in a manner that keeps it from catching a cold. However, guinea pigs do not normally shower. This is unnatural to them, and an unnecessary source of stress. While it might be possible to shower a guinea pig many times a year, you probable should never do so.

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.
