Best Answer

My guinea pigs don't smell at all. And when I change their cage, I put a very light coating of Arm & Hammer Litter Box Deodorizer down right before I put in the bedding. It helps the cage stay very fresh smelling & the piggies seem to really love it! (They popcorn all over the place when we put them back into the cage after cleaning it!)

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.
