I would like to ask a question about their hygiene. I know that frequent bathing is not recommended. I only bathed my boar once when I bought him because he was infested with mites.
I have a boar that normally cleans every corner of his body. However, my other boar has a tilt head, and he can't clean some parts of his body, which ends up getting very dirty over time.
He is simply very clumsy and ends up getting dirty with everything, resulting in him turning green from vegetables or dirty from urine. And my fear is that his fur or skin will develop fungus because he can't clean himself.
I'm trying to wipe the dirtiest areas with a damp cloth and then with a dry cloth, at least once a week. Is this okay? Or can this be harmful? Or is there a better way to clean him?
Apart from the tilt head, he is healthy, eats well, drinks water, runs and does everything normally, the problem at the moment is just his hygiene. I clean the cage everyday, everything in the cage is clean, the other boar is very clean too because he clean himself.
These photos were taken today, completing 1 week without cleaning him. If I leave him any longer without cleaning it, it will only get worse and worse.
