To properly groom a pet guinea pig, you can follow these steps:
-
Brush their fur regularly using a soft brush to prevent matting and remove loose hairs.
-
Trim their nails every few weeks to prevent overgrowth and discomfort.
-
Clean their ears gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
-
Bathe them occasionally using a small amount of specially formulated guinea pig shampoo, making sure to dry them thoroughly afterward to prevent chilling.
-
Check for any signs of skin issues like mites or fungal infections and consult a veterinarian if you notice anything concerning.
These grooming practices will help keep your pet guinea pig healthy and happy.
