Question
I own an abyssinian guinea pig and a short haired agoutti.  I was wondering about the proper way to bathe an abyssinian guinea pig and not hurt it. If there is any particular way to do it, please tell! ;:)

Answer
Hi Suzanna,
Theirs no really any particular way to bathe these guinea pigs. Just put warm water into a small bucket thats about 1inch full of water. Place the guinea pig inside the bucket and hold it but shampoo for guinea pigs and wash him with it. Hold his head up so he doesn't drown. Don't wet his head, When done immediately grab a towel and towel dry him,
Hope this helps,
Christine
