If guinea pigs are not bathed, bacteria will breed on their bodies. Not only will their body odor become heavier, their hair will become messy and their appearance will be affected, but in severe cases, they will also develop skin diseases and become infected with parasites. The owner can bathe the guinea pig occasionally. When bathing, be sure to use warm water. After washing, the guinea pig should also be wiped and blown dry.

Notes on bathing guinea pigs:

1. The water temperature for bathing guinea pigs should be warm water. The most suitable water temperature is 40 degrees. Before taking a bath, prepare a small water basin. The water in the basin can be deep enough to submerge the guinea pig's body.

3. After bathing the guinea pig, first dry it with a dry towel, and then use a hair dryer to dry its hair. Note that those who are sick and have diarrhea, newborn or lactating guinea pigs, and pregnant guinea pigs should not take a bath.
