Cause it is Small animal shampoo

Answer 1

Yeah you could use ferret shampoo, you could even use regular hand shampoo.

Answer 2

Ferret Shampoo completly safe, you can also use basic dog shampoos as well. Guinea pigs look so cute when they swim. Just fill you tub or sink or where ever u r gonna wash it,  up with an inch or 2 of water and then bathe.  BEWARE they p**p alot while in the water.

Answer 3

small amounts of  baby shampoo

every time you wash them in my experience

its good.

Answer 4

Yes, any shampoo designated for small animals is fine.

There is a company in the UK that sells wonderful shampoos made *especially* for guinea pigs. I have ordered from them in the past & their products are fabulous!

Guinea pigs don't need regular bathing--they do a really good job of cleaning themselves! I don't bathe my piggies unless I absolutely must, mostly bum baths for long haired sows or bum baths for dirty grease glands, so the shampoo has lasted me a long time.

Answer 5

ya u can use that

Answer 6

what the heck, guinea pigs?

Answer 7

Yes, ferret shampoo would be safe for a guinea pig.  Anything safe for kittens is safe.  

Answer 8

well i dont think ferret shampoo will hurt them, but it wont help them either. i guess you could use it, but i prefer guinea pig shampoo.

Answer 9

My vet actually suggested i use baby shampoo. its very light and wont burn the eyes. Ive only bathed her once but it didnt seem to cause any damage.
