How old do guinea pigs have to be till they can a bath?

Guinea pigs generally should not be bathed at all, unless there's a specific medical reason directed by a veterinarian.

Here's why:

* Their skin is sensitive: Guinea pigs have delicate skin that can easily dry out and become irritated by water and soap.

* They are naturally clean: Guinea pigs are very good at grooming themselves and keeping their fur clean.

* Bathing can be stressful: The process of bathing can be frightening and stressful for guinea pigs, and can lead to health problems.

If your guinea pig has a medical reason for needing a bath, your veterinarian will advise you on how to do it safely.

Instead of bathing, you can:

* Spot clean: If your guinea pig has a dirty area on their fur, use a damp cloth or cotton ball to clean it.

* Brush regularly: Brushing helps remove loose hair and dirt, keeping your guinea pig's fur clean and healthy.

* Provide a dust bath: Guinea pigs enjoy dust baths, which help to absorb excess oil and keep their fur clean.

Remember, it's best to consult your veterinarian if you have any questions about your guinea pig's hygiene.
