do not bath your guinea pigs ever!

only bath them with special washing shampoo from wilkinsons, even if you get that its only if your guinea pigs are really dirty. It will have writing on the back to read or get special shampoo from ebay or a pets shop.

Do guinea pigs like to be bathed and how often?

Guinea pigs generally, like any other pet, should be bathed to keep clean and germ free. using a special small animal shampoo and warm water in a tub (preferably deep because they like to jump out) you can give them a quick bath. try not to get soap and/or water in their ears, eyes or mouth. on colder days after their bath guinea pigs should not be left wet; using a brush and blow dryer you should gently dry their fur. Bath your guine pig/s at least once per month.

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).
