Guinea Chronicles

Guinea pigs need to be bathed. Although not so frequently. If you like to bathe yours and unsure where to start, the video below is an excellent start.

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.
