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.

Well I had two guinea pigs when I was little and because of them having sensitive skin we always used Johnson's baby shampoo and it worked a treat, because babies have sensitive skin two it doesn't harm them.

Wash him with tearless puppy shampoo or MILD tearless baby shampoo. Puppy shampoo is better though, or small animal shampoo.

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.

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! :)
