you can use pretty much anything to clean your pig, you should bathe your pig at least once a month, dont use scented shampoo and no conditioner which will make the fur oily. Ask your vet for a brand that is good for your piggie.
Obvioulsy not... that's cruel to the animal.. if they lick themsleves for any reason that can get in their system and they could die... so please don't kill the poor animal!!!
A guinea pig is a small rodent native to the Andes region of South America. They are not pigs; the name "guinea pig" is a misnomer.
It is fine to never bath your guinea pig. They dont need a bath because they clean themselves.
The name "guinea pig" is believed to have originated from the fact that these small animals were originally brought to Europe from the South American country of Guinea. The term "pig" in the name is likely due to the squealing sounds they make that are similar to a pig.
The most common one is Cavy. There might be others but it is mostly Guinea Pig and Cavy, but they DO NOT come from New Guinea nor are they part pig. Take Care and god Bless! :)
Any guinea pig shampoo should be fine for your guinea pig but you might want to ask your vet, an employee at a pet store, or friends with guinea pigs.
I try to clean my guinea pig's cage around once a week or when it looks dirty.

Yes because there is the after birth from the guinea pig
You should NEVER bathe a guinea pig. They have oil on their skin that helps them be clean, and germ free. If you bathe them, it will wash all of that oil off. At pet stores, you can get a spray bottle that as good smelling liquid in it. It is wonderful for guinea pigs, but is for ferrits.
The scientific name for guinea pig is Cavia porcellus.

I have given them to my guinea pig. She loves them! I would just make sure they're clean before offering them to your guinea pig.
