Any way, I don&#8217;t mind seeing how to provide care for animals we won&#8217;t ever actually have, and upon looking for guinea pig care this morning I came across the following video on <strong>how to bathe a guinea pig<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"vidembedwrap\"><object width=\"590\" height=\"442\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/EJ7u_zp7BVs&#038;ap=%2526fmt%3D18\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/EJ7u_zp7BVs&#038;ap=%2526fmt%3D18\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"590\" height=\"442\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<p>The pet owner uses just her bathroom sink and runs <strong>tepid water<\/strong> for her pig. She thoroughly wets the pig under the running water, making sure to get the fur around the face without actually running her head under the water. <\/p>\n<p>She uses a <strong>baby shampoo<\/strong> so the suds don&#8217;t sting the pig&#8217;s eyes, and takes the opportunity of rubbing in the shampoo to check the pig&#8217;s skins for any irregularities like lumps, bumps or cuts. Make sure all the shampoo is rinsed out so as not to cause irritation. (The belly rinse is one of the cutest things I&#8217;ve seen all day.) <\/p>\n<p>Once the bath is over, you can use a <strong>towel<\/strong> to dry off your pig, taking care to get the ears and areas around the face (if you turn your speakers up you can hear the cute little squeaks!).<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/bathing-your-guinea-pig\/\">Bathing Your Guinea Pig<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guinea pigs are one pet that I&#8217;ve never had much of a desire to own.
