[quote=Anonymous]Longtime Guinea pig owner here, I used to pay to have it done at the vet but it became a pain the in but over time- we have finally started doing it at home, one person holds the pig, the other clips- have the quick stop ready and you should be good to go. No shame in taking them to Petsmart and have them do it for you for awhile until you are comfortable. In terms of the bath, I have never bathed my pigs- I keep their cage clean and they seem to do the rest. I have seen lots of people bath their guinea pigs, the only safety concern is- never put them in deep water, there are videos on the web of pigs swimming, but they can get water in the lungs quickly and you won't even know it. Also, they get drafts easily, they can handle cooler temperatures but not when damp- so if you do bath them make sure you get them nice and dry and keep them warm![/quote]
