For the health of pets, we often clean our pets, and guinea pigs are no exception. Because guinea pigs are small, it is a little inconvenient to bathe them. , we can't just wash it casually. When we bathe it, we also need to pay attention to the health of the guinea pig to continue. How to bathe the guinea pig?

1. Pour warm water into the washbasin, be careful not to exceed the height of the guinea pig's eyes. Guinea pigs raise their heads so that their mouths are above the water.

2. Hold the guinea pig's chest with the left hand and the guinea pig's hip with the right hand, and slowly put the guinea pig into the water from the hind legs. Pay attention to the guinea pig's reaction, and talk to him to divert his attention if he is visibly nervous or starts to struggle. Finally, put the guinea pig into the water completely, and still support the guinea pig with the left hand, so that you can feel the guinea pig's reaction at any time (the whole body is tense, the front feet are forced to start running away, etc.).

3. Use the right hand to brush the whole body of the guinea pig to make the water soak into the hair. Then place the guinea pig in another empty washbasin.

4. Take some body wash, spread it evenly on the guinea pig, and start bathing the guinea pig like washing its hair (do not wash the inside of the head and ears). After the body wash is foamed, use a small comb to gently brush from the neck to the tail in sequence. This step can help the mouse to remove hair and dander. The stomach is more difficult to wash, because the guinea pig is usually reluctant to let the stomach face up. At this time, the hand that supports the guinea pig's front feet can be raised, so that the guinea pig will become standing on the back feet and can help him wash his stomach. Finally, rub the vicinity of the anus, the instep, and the sole of the foot (remember to rub the back of the ear as well).

5. Rinse the guinea pig with water using a ladle. Be careful not to make too much noise at this time. The guinea pig is very timid, especially when taking a bath. It will make him panic, and the memory will carry over to the next time.

6. As for the guinea pig's head, you can wipe it with a clean small towel dampened with warm water and then wipe it for him. In fact, he usually washes it himself, so it should be quite clean. The principle is not to wash the inside of the ear, but check to see if there is any dirt. If you are sure, you can use tweezers to take it out. If you are not sure, take it to the doctor!
