Shampoo Your Guinea Pig In 5 Easy Steps

Step One

Make sure you get a LONG haired guinea pig who enthralls your children when they are 7 but bores them to tears by the time they are 13, so no one plays with them or brushes them any more. Then their long hair gets nice and matted.

Step 2

Find an old washing up bowl and half fill with tepid water. Panic about which shampoo to use and then realise they were all tested on guinea pigs anyway so they are bound to be safe. {Duh!}

Step 3

Thoroughly soak the terrified guinea pig. Shampoo and rinse. Repeat. Use conditioner for extra shine.

Step 4

Make sure she doesn't escape by offering her favourite food: parsley.

Step 5

Blow Dry. On warm obviously.

Beautiful. Now Madam, we have a special offer on manicures today. Would you be interested?

You are a compassionate soul to bathe that little critter. I had to remind myself where I was though. At first I thought I was reading Jodie's blog! LOL
