When can I bathe my young guinea pig and how often should I do it?

Question

Can I bathe my guinea pigs that are 2-3months old? If yes how often can I bathe them? Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Female | unspayed

I would wait until Cookie and Coco are at least three months old until you bathe them so they can regulate their temperature. They do not need to be bathed often, and bathing them too much will dry out their skin. Baths only need to be done rarely.
