Guinea Pig and bathing

| No Comments »

Guinea pigs should be bathed very rarely, because they do not like water procedures. Only in that case, if they are too soiled. Guinea pigs can easily freeze and cold.

To fill the swimming capacity of warm (not hot) water for no more than 6-8 cm Carefully place the animal in the water. Give the pig some time to get used to the water, and only then move on to washing.

While bathing, gently and calmly talk to animals in order to calm him down. Do not switch the water while washing your pig, the noise of water can scare her. Try to water treatments took place in a calm atmosphere, and eventually baby will get used to bathing.

They washed pig only hand without using any improvised devices such as brushes. As a cleanser you can use a shampoo for kittens (shampoos for rodents found in pet stores, but not often). Soaps are not recommended, it dries the skin. Pay close attention to the nose, ears and eyes of an animal not reach water.

 

After the baby washed, thoroughly dry it. Better yet, dry a little animal warm jet dryer and stand in an appropriate animal warm atmosphere. Quite dry animal is placed in a clean, dry cage, lined with hay. Must be remembered that bathed the guinea pig is particularly sensitive to drafts and cold, susceptible to colds, whose consequences can be devastating. Do not let the wet animal, especially on draft. Mumps must dry completely, only then it can provide itself.
