Question
Hi How many guinea pigs can I keep in a cage thats: 43"x28"?   How offen should the cage be cleaned?

How do you bath a guinea pig?  what kind of shampoo should I use?

Answer
Once a week the cage should be cleaned and whiped with vinigar.

Bathing really isnt nessary , unless your guinea pig is stinkey or dirty.
Use a mild baby shampoo and makesure that their head does dot go under and that the water is not to cold or tooo hot
