I suppose there is no limit, provided the guinea pig is showered and dried in a manner that keeps it from catching a cold.

However, guinea pigs do not normally shower. This is unnatural to them, and an unnecessary source of stress. While it might be possible to shower a guinea pig many times a year, you probable should never do so.
