I'm a volunteer at the www.laguineapigrescue.com/ and there's a lot of misinformation out there about bathing Guinea Pigs. Some people think Guinea Pigs should never have a bath, and others think it should only be once or twice a year. My position is that Guinea Pigs should be bathed if they are dirty. It make sense, that's how we do it. Davis Miconazole Pet Shampoo amzn.to/2ZpElHC

I fostered a guinea pig who came from an abusive and neglectful situation and was unable to bond with other pigs, but I used your taming advice and formed a huge bond with him. He even got to where he liked being picked up and would curl up on my shoulder for naps. Every one of your videos I took to heart. He unfortunately had a stroke and passed a couple months ago. Thank you for this channel and giving me the ability to give him as good of a life as possible.

Billy looks so betrayed when he's in the bath. But he looks happy when he's back in the cage!

@Allison Toth I don’t think you have ever seen an actual guinea pig scared for its life, because if you did you wouldn’t be saying that. Billy is a bit uneasy and probably confused or uncomfortable. But he’s not scared for his life. I rarely bathe my guinea pigs since they don’t need to be bathed often, but we had one that was ACTUALLY terrified of bathing no matter how we did it. She had wide eyes, would try to jump out constantly and was squeaking for dear life. After that we have only been using warm, wet towels instead of baths for her. The others are fine with baths like this. Guinea pigs are definitely capable of tolerating baths without fear. They’ll let you know when they dislike something or are terrified. I have owned guinea pigs for about 15 years now.

Back in 2012 when I started to have guinea pigs as pets, there wasn't as much information about them as much as there is now. Which I am so grateful to have this channel as a resource. There was so much misinformation out there. The guinea pig community is continuing to grow and learn new stuff about their fur babies everyday. Which is super fantastic! Thank you for your videos!

Scared guinea pigs can suddenly jump, so I think we should warn people about that. Don't leave your piggy standing in the sink. Sometimes a bowl on the floor is a better idea so they don't fall from high up. Thank you Scotty for making it look easy there!

I cut a piece of that rubbery shelf liner stuff, and put it in my bathroom sink for bath time so they don't slip & slide. Worth mentioning to make sure to thoroughly rinse them, residue from the shampoo can cause skin irritation and drying. Billy is just the cutest!! He was so cute in the tub 😆

Thank you so much Scotty, this video was so helpful! My boys don’t like being handled very much but all the butt dragging and grease gland gunk meant they really needed a bath. Watching your video made the job so much less daunting and my boys were so good the whole time. I now have two fresh smelling and very soft shiny piggies 😊

My daughter will be 8 in June and she was promised a Guinea pig, she knows before getting anything she has to research because once she agrees to get a pet she is responsible for all the care. I will buy what it needs but the care is all her. She watched the rescue videos and yours. The lady backed out and didn’t get her the piggy. We wait and found petco had two males that was dropped off in a box. We adopted them because they can’t sell them once returned. She loves watching your videos. They both had bad care, lack of vitamin C and very dirty we are about to give them their first baths and wanted to watch this video first. Thank you so much for showing noobies like us how we can do this!!
I’ve only had to bathe my piggies once, but I probably need to give them another one soon.

This has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen. I've had guineas for years but my last one passed about 5yrs ago. They are so sweet. He is such a dear little chap...❤❤
I love the way you love the guinea pigs!!!! I wish I could find someone like you to be in my life! You seem to be such an amazing person!
Billy is such a good boy. My favorite bath time video was the buddy bath video you posted a couple months ago. It was very entertaining to watch.
I had a guinea pig named Billy in 1st and a parakeet named BB in 3rd grade they have passed but when I saw your videos it made me smile
he is so calm damm
Scotty you have a heart of gold! Don’t ever change ❤️
I do not have a guinea pig but I enjoy these videos immensely. I learn so much. Billy is adorable and I was surprised how mild tempered he was during his bath. I would look like streaded paper if I tried that with my cat. Keep the videos comin
I know I’m late but this is a lifesaver! My two rescue girls don’t seem like they’ve ever had a bath and they’re both 3yrs old. And they smell like urine. They keep spraying each other, so today is bath day.
When we see his face it looks like heis so happy😂 his teeth though 😂 so cute
Hi from the UK! Great tip about using mineral/ olive oil to break down the grease before applying shampoo. We rescued 2 girl piggies back in September & I'm about to give them their 2nd bath. Thank you, keep up the good work!
Thank u for this vid! I think everyone can agree that Billy is Adorable!♥️🥰
I love the tunnel that runs along the cages. When I have the space to put it I might add one as well. It looks adorable when they run through it.
i love how you really are involved with the pigs. you care very well for them

What I did with my old man GP when I was a baby he smelly so we had a one of those industrial laundry rooms sinks so we put towels on the bottom to act like a filter so it will filter out the poop and other things so I did was we just rubbed them down with some water not too hot not too cold just warm enough that he will enjoy it so we put some soap in our hands and rubbed it on his back and he was enjoying it and I told him just look at me nothing to be worried about and it seemed to use enjoying it to this day that's my little style a towel to act like a cushion and a filter and just some peace and quiet to just let your guinea pig relax and enjoy being scrubbed

Great with towel on bottom they don't slip
I don't know who I love more, Scotty or Billy. :) Just a couple of suggestions: First, get everything ready first including having two bath towels within arms' reach. No looking for a towel with a wet gp in your hands! Second put a wash cloth or towel on the floor of your dish pan. You gp's won't slip and slide and they will be far more calm. Third, put the water in the pan first while your gp is in another room. Then fill a plastic pitcher with warm water and use it to fill (and refill) a 2-cup plastic measuring cup with a pour spout to rinse your gp to avoid the sound of running water, or accidentally using water that is too hot or cold!. I use fragrance free, plant based 'dreft' Bottle & Dish Soap to shampoo my gp's. (I haven't needed a medicated soap yet.) My gp's are so soft and shiny after being shampooed with dreft liquid soap (meant to use on baby bottles.) My gp's usually get a bath before visiting the vet. The vet and vet techs always comment about how soft and shiny my gp's are, and I don't freak out if my gp's accidentally eat or drink a little bit of their bath water. I learned all this stuff through trial and error. I love Scotty and his video's. I think he kisses his babies as much as I kiss mine. :)

As far as I know, short-haired pigs only need them about once a year unless they get really dirty, but I could be wrong about that. They groom themselves just fine, but the occasional bath is good. But long-haired pigs need them much more often because their fur gets matted and dirty quicker.
I need to learn how to do this and watch because my guinea pig is sitting next to me no seriously she is Olney 1-2 years old I got her 2 days ago trust me

Just a tip! Guinea pig’s skin can be very sensitive so it’s best to use a shampoo made specifically for them! Also it is better to towel dry since the blow dryer can be pretty harsh. You can find shampoo at your local pet stores. Don’t get any shampoo near their eyes either!
