Well, over the last fortnight Amber and Flora have settled right in and today I felt that they were relaxed enough around me to have their first bath.
Unfortunately Photobucket is down at the moment but as soon as it's back I'll load up the pictures I took of the clean girlies!
Whilst bathing them I was able to give them a proper health check. Flora is quite overweight: seriously, if I didn't know for a fact that Amber was a girl I'd be wondering if Flora were pregnant :'( Any tips for how to reduce her weight a little? At the moment they have Wagg Guinea Crunch and unlimited Dust Free Hay. Her bottom was also a bit dirty and stained, probably because she can't reach it very well She looks much better for the bath. Her fur was also quite 'sticky' and it looks as though she has dandruff: mites? I used GG lavender and tea tree oil shampoo, is there another GG shampoo that would be more suitable? How often should I bathe her whilst she has this condition?
Amber thankfully seems to have escaped the mites: she's much slimmer and her fur felt fine, although she seemed to actually enjoy her bath! I expected more of a battle! ;D
