Answer 5

i actually take my guinea pigs to the vet.. and the do suggest you clean there ears once and a while, if there is any build up or wax..

when you clean them.. such as a mild bath and brushing, it is always good to check for bulid up/wax.

if there is, use a cotton ball. (no q-tips!!!)

and use a SMALL amout water, or a lil peroxide.

but only do this ONCE in a while.. over cleaning can lead to infection, or over drying of the ears.

:) hope i helped.

Answer 6

you shouldn't you should only clean the cage because my Friends Guinea pig didn't like people cleaning its ears just let it groom itself
