i’ve taken my guinea pig a shower but it’s really hard to shower him because he doesn’t like it but it’s also hard to shower him by the bottom of the stomach. does anyone know how i can do it ?

I’ve edited your post so it’s not bold, and changed your title as well. Making your text bold doesn’t make it any easier to read nor is it answers any quicker.

Why are you bathing your piggy? You only need to do it if he’s particularly dirty. If it’s just his bum/lower stomach then you could just use a cloth to wipe him down. If you’re bathing you need to put very shallow in a sink, basin, or bath tub. Have a read of the guide I’ve linked below.

Thank you.
 
Could you answer my question please: why did he need a bath?

We also like to be introduced to piggies so do introduce your boy and tell us a bit about him (Introduction section). Does he have a friend? They’re highly social and need constant companionship of their own kind.
 
i agree, they don’t need routinely bathing. It’s not good for their skin and it is stressful for them.
it only really needs to be done for a medical need
