The only thing that you can really do to keep a guinea pig clean is to clean out its cage and bedding very frequently (once a week at least). Bathing rodents can cause injury or death to the animal, and scents such as perfumes contain harmful chemicals. Cedar woodchips produce a great smell for the cage if changed regularly.

∙ 12y agoYou can bathe your guinea pig if that's what you mean. Most guinea pigs hate water and will start to jump around your bath. If you are going to bathe your guinea pig, I'd suggest warm water and only up to the guinea pigs feet. If your guinea pig is a bit smelly, go to your local pet shop or vets and see if they have any special shampoo for your guinea pig. Always read the label on the back and rinse out the shampoo well, or this could lead to skin infection. Also, do NOT put your wet guinea pig back into there cage if there still damp. They could get a cold, and get dirty again. Hold your guinea pig in a towel and make sure she/he is warm. Also if you think it'll help give her/him some salad or there favourite food. I hope this helps you alot. :) Good luck with your guinea pig and keep squeaking!

Should I get a guinea pig or a budgie and why?
You should get a guinea pig, because they are great pets. Alot of other small animals give off diseases, but generally guinea pigs do not. They aren't too small, but they aren't that big either. They are the perfect size, so they are easy to hold. They don't make that much noise, with the exception of the first few days, because the guinea pig won't know where it is. Guinea pigs however, do not smell either. There are many guinea pigs in shelters that get put down, because they can't find owners for them. Therefore, you should get a guinea pig.
Do you have to wash yer guniea pig?
Yes. Surprisingly my piggy likes it a bit. But they don't need to take a bath that often. Don't just smell your guinea pig's cage, smell your guinea pig itself. Because the reason why your cage could smell it could be just the bedding, not the piggy. Hope this helped! Have a safe and happy guinea pig! But remember make sure the water you use is at room temperature, and do not wet your guinea pig's face.

Do guinea pig stink?
Actually, it depends on the guinea pig you have. If he/she has a bad bladder, it's going to smell pretty bad. And, if you have a small cage, it'll get real messy real fast. If you scrub the cage down real good when you clean it, it should be fine for a while. Try to clean the cage when it first starts to smell and the smell shouldn't be there. Sometimes, the guinea pig is the one who smells bad.
