bathing

[misspiggy64]

Hi
I'm going to have to bath my 2 piggies they smell to high heaven as ones a male & the other is a female & they keep weeing at each other. I only let them get together under my supervision ( can't let my son watch over them as he wants them to have babies so he leaves them to their own devices ) I don't want Coco to get pregnant. She's very good at warning him off by spraying in his face but now he seems to be retaliating by peeing at her. Any good advice on how to bath them without stressing them out too much will be much appreciated. The sooner Smudge is 6 months old the better cos that's when the vet said that she would castrate him & he can then be reunited with his sister.

Oh dear ;D ;D ;D ;D
ahhhhhhh well she's certainly putting him off isn't she :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
One of the bests ways i've seen was in the trough or bath pop a smaller dish so as piggie doesn't feel over whelmed in all the space, make sure the water is warm but not hot and i try not to tip water over the head i cover their heads with my hand and then rinse off that way. If their faces are really grotty i'd use a flannel and wipe it that way. For drying i use a hair dryer but held quite a distance away and on medium to low only they actually quite like it i also have treats beside when when i bathed as i found this helped a little too O0
I'm sure you'll get some more wonderful advice soon
Good luck with little Coco and Smudge :smitten: :smitten:

i would keep piggies seperate until smudge is fixed as it only takes a second for the deed to be done :o :o :o i usually very rarely wash mine in the kitchen sink with warm water and protect their head. i too use a hair dryer once i have tried to wipe with a towel or two. : : : good luck with the bath of your fur babies. sending hugs and cleaning vibes :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: come on smudge and coco time to get clean O0
