Question
I have given my lil piggy a bath with just water. What kind of shampoo is safe and should i let my piggy air dry or use a blow dryer on low heat, far from the fur?

Answer
Hello Chrissy,

Guinea Pig or Rabbit shampoo is best, but often difficult to find. You can also use a mild baby shampoo, but it ccan dry out a piggy's skin if it's used too often, so infrequent baths are best. If the weather is warm, a good towel drying is sufficent. If it's cold, blow drying your piggy on low heat is best.
