Can you give your ginnypig a bath?
It's generally not recommended to give guinea pigs baths as they are very sensitive to temperature changes and can easily get chilled. Guinea pigs are able to keep themselves clean through grooming. If they do need cleaning, spot-cleaning with a damp cloth or special guinea pig cleaning wipes is a safer option.
When do you clean your guinea pig's ears?
You don't need to clean them really, but maybe just when you bath them.
Should you get a long hair guinea pig or short hair?
I would say both tend to have a low allergy percentage. My brother reacts to my pet rabbits that stay outside most of the time, even if he only held them for a few seconds, and their shedding is minimal. We have had our guinea pigs a few months now, always in the house and in the main sitting room, and he hasn't reacted once. My dad is also allergic to dander, and he reacts to being around any animal who sheds dander. He also hasn't had reactions either. Short haired guinea pigs are said to cause more allergic reactions, but often it is the type of diet they get or how often they are bathed.
When guinea pigs get sick can you give them a bath?
No. Guinea pigs do not need baths. The bathe themselves when they feel they are dirty. If you need it specially done, though, see a small pet veterinarian for help.
What do you need to give a guinea pig a shower?
I you wish to give your guinea pig a bath or shower you, will need the following items. A large jug filled with lukewarm water, a basin/bucket/bath tub, a towel, and some shampoo/conditioner/soap. OPTIONAL: you could have some treats for your guinea pig :P To bathe your guinea pig, place him in the bath and pour the water over him. massage in the shampoo if you are using any. Wash the shampoo out using more water. Repeat the process if you want to use conditioner. Give your guinea pig rewards throughout the process. When your guinea pig is clean, take him out of the bath and dry him throughly with a towel. Do not use a hair dryer, as this will scare your guinea pig. Allow him to air dry in his hutch. I hope this was helpful! :)
Can you cut a guinea pigs hair?
You could if you really wanted to but you don't need to.
Does guinea pig need groom?
Guinea pigs are usually able to groom themselves, but it's best if you give them a hand sometimes. You can get a special brush from the pet store for them. If your guinea pig breed has long hair (peruvian, silkie, abbysinian) then you should groom them quite often, as their hair drags on the ground and can get very dirty. If you have med-short haired (american, short haired) then you won't have to groom them a lot as they should be able to take care of themselves. You can give them baths once every month or so, but for the long haired i recommend once or twice every month. In winter i wouldn't give them a bath as it can be very cold, but maybe once if you have to, but spring and summer are the best seasons to clean your guinea pig.
