Grooming Guinea Pigs
Guinea pigs need grooming from time to time and Latte is one who needs a little brushing from time to time too. The only time I have brushed his fur is when he’s busy gobbling up his pellets. That’s when he won’t run to hide under the hay rack.
I have bought a brush to help with combing through his fur. So far, it is working of sorts when I managed to get the correct angle to give him the much needed brushing. Besides brushing, they can bathed once every 2 to 6 months to get rid of the parasites and other fur related issues.
A shampoo such as Vet Sect Repel can be used in the bathing part. It’s a ‘pearlised’ shampoo, specially formulated to give residual insect repellent activity and coat conditioning, for bathing animals. Steps to bathing a guinea pig can be found in Associate Content.
This reminds me, I have yet to bathe Latte.
