@1a2n34
I’m sorry. Being stuck in a cage, sleeping in your own bodily waste. I’m sure you’d like to be bathed every once in a while.
I spot clean every day, clean them out twice a week, use cleaning wipes and they still get pretty filthy and have to be bathed every few months.
They do clean themselves, that is true but their grease glan and underneath of their body tends to get very dirty because it’s constantly on the ground and they just can’t lick that kind of stuff clean.

@1a2n34 They DO need to be bathed but in a suitable bathing tub with the right temperature and water depth up to their feet. ALL animals need to be washed otherwise they’ll stink! And they could be sick, catch parasites. It’s a method to get rid of any skin infections. So saying a guinea pig should never be washed is just ignorant. Them cleaning themselves is a natural instinct but it doesn’t really keep them healthy. I bath guinea pigs for my grooming session at college.

1a2n34 says:

you shouldnt bath the guinea pig they can clean by there self

Don’t use rabbit shampoo! There are plenty of guinea pig shampoos out there, some just for boars, others for young guinea pigs and the different breeds etc.
Don’t bathe them until they are over 12 wks old

Not trying to be rude or something, but that women is stressing that Guinea Pig because She is stroking Her going up to the Guinea Pig’s head.(You should stroke a Guinea Pig(And every single animal.)going from Their head to Their back.
