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!
oh how sweet!
Was she making those cute little "wee wee" noises too?
She is a sweet pig. Very tame too.
Fhi - yes, there were lots of little squeaks but they were contented ones as opposed to get-the-hell-off-me ones!
baths by laura? Sign me up!
Ha! LOL! ;o)

How cute! We have a gerbil - not so cute!
Ahhh, Martha is lovely and so well behaved; if only my dog was so obliging at bath time!
I 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!
