Guinea pigs are actually pretty clean animals. They get a milky white eye discharge and they spread that using their paws around their body to keep/get clean.

Sometimes they get smelly or they have a spot that they haven't cleaned and they need our help to get them clean!

And there you go! A clean guinea pig! To keep them clean even longer make sure the cage is cleaned out regularly. Also, do not give them a bath MORE than once a month. Less is more sometimes'

Finally give them a treat for being so good!
