What parts of the guinea pig need to be cleaned?

Guinea pigs don't need to be bathed often, if ever really. Older arthritic piggies may need a gentle wipe down or bum bath to prevent urine scalding. They will need their nails clipped every so often. Longer haired piggies may need a trim. Older boars may need their pocket cleaned out. Other than that, they are very good at keeping themselves clean 😊
 
Hello. I’ve had to clean Percy and Peppers grease glands once with coconut oil. And then just wiped it off with a little warm water on a cloth.
 
I have a long haired piggy who needs regular trims of the fur round her bum.
I use unscented baby wipes to clean her and in the warm weather she gets a bum bath.
Neither of my other piggies need any help in keeping clean.
