My old boar Frank seems to need a little help with cleaning on his underside. I know a bath will terrify him as he's never liked being handled at the best of times and I certainly don't want to upset him in his old age. Just wondered if anyone has any top tips on how to get him cleaned up without involving a bath?
Thanks
 
@Redribbon I sometimes use cotton wool balls on them. If you have a small dish of water and dip the cotton wool in sometimes they don't mind that as much as a full on bath.

It can be easier to dry them too.
 
Thank you! I've used baby wipes so far but because Frank's an outdoor pig I am concerned about making sure he's dry enough to go back outside.
 
You could dry him off using a hair dryer on the lowest setting and putting it about 2-3 feet away from Frank. My Rainbow Piggies loved the hair dryer but the 5 I have now aren't so keen!
