Answers:

I've used the Pet Scentsations before & it works well. None of my pigs have ever had any adverse reaction to it.

If you want to get really fancy, you can order shampoos specifically designed for guinea pigs from http://shop.store2go.net/gorgeousguineas... I have personally never used them, but I've heard from many people they are terrific.

Remember two things when bathing your piggie.

1) Never get his head, face or ears wet. Only wash from the neck down.

2) Be sure your piggie is thoroughly dry before putting him back in the cage. They can easily get sick from being left wet, especially if you have the a/c running or the cage is in a drafty area. If you use a hair dryer, use EXTREME caution that you don't accidentally burn his skin. The hot air can burn their sensitive skin very quickly, so never leave it running in one spot for more than a second. Keep that dryer moving constantly over the body area from a distance of about 12 inches. Use the "low" setting if your dryer has one.

The first one would be best if you want to bathe him. The wipes are only good for spot cleaning and the dry bath doesn't work as well as shampoos.

Dissolve a little baking soda in some warm water and a wash cloth wrung out till just damp

Pet sensations works great!
