Guinea pigs are almost ideal pets. They make good contact, quickly get used to their hands, and are also much smarter than smaller rodents. It is not uncommon to find a guinea pig that responds to the nickname and also recognizes its owners. In addition, guinea pigs are very clean animals. However, even for them, bathing from time to time will not hurt. Its frequency depends not only on the breed of the animal, but also on the conditions in which it lives.
It is necessary
To bathe your mumps, you will need a bowl, cat shampoo or simple baby shampoo, hair balm (if needed), a dry towel, as well as a hair dryer and a rare comb
Instructions
Step 1
Better to wash the pig in a sink or a special basin. A small piece of cloth can be placed under her paws so that the animal's paws do not slip. Do not pour a lot of water into the container; it is better to bathe your guinea pig under a shower head or pour water on it from a jug or saucepan.
Step 2
Dampen the fur of the animal, and then lather it. Avoid the area around the eyes, nose, and ears. When rinsing off the shampoo, be sure to cover your ears with your fingers to prevent water from getting into them.
If your guinea pig is a long-haired breed, you can groom its coat with a hair balm.
Step 3
After bathing, wrap the pig in a clean towel.
After the animal's coat has dried a bit, finish drying it with a hair dryer. Do not forget to brush your animal's fur.
