I've just had to give Martha the guinea pig a bath. She keeps getting covered in mud from climbing in and out of flowerpots and she doesn't wash it off. I keep cleaning bits of her but today I decided it was time for a proper full-on guinea pig bath. A hair wash with warm water and a dash of Johnson's Baby Shampoo .....
A rinse .....
A towel and blow dry (with the hair dryer on cool) ......
And I finally had one clean, fragrant and pampered guinea pig.
Martha seemed to enjoy it. She was so calm and she was rewarded with a lettuce leaf for her good behaviour. I wonder how long it'll take for her to get muddy again?
SOOO cute! There is something that tugs the heart strings when there is a bedraggled critter getting her bath. Molly gets puppy crazies after her bath. She's so funny. Martha is a beautiful guinea pig!
ReplyDeleteoh how sweet!
ReplyDeleteWas she making those cute little "wee wee" noises too?
She is a sweet pig. Very tame too.
ReplyDeleteFhi - yes, there were lots of little squeaks but they were contented ones as opposed to get-the-hell-off-me ones!

How cute! We have a gerbil - not so cute!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Martha is lovely and so well behaved; if only my dog was so obliging at bath time!
ReplyDeleteI like bathing my kitty cause she smells so nice and is so soft the day after, but man oh man she finds it darned humiliating!
