Bathing your little piggy!

List of things u wanna get:

* Tub or bucket
* Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo or pet shampoo (make sure its for kittens/cats!) or just get Small Animal Pet Shampoo.
* A used tooth brush or a shower brush
* Warm water or a water heater
* Vinegar (optional)
* Morning towel (get at least a dozen of it  )
* small plastic jug or a cut used bottle (tis is jus for pouring water)
* Pureen Corn Starch baby powder

Steps

1- prepare the tub or bucket with the warm water.. the water level must not be higher than their mouth level jus about 3cm depth is good enough..
2- test the temperature of the water.. make sure it is not too hot, if ur hand can bear it and not burnt then they will be fine.. gp prefer warm than cold bath, giving them a cold bath will jus frighten/shock them, introduce ur piggy into the water carefully
3- once ur piggy is settle down , u either use hand to rinse their fur with water or use the cut plastic bottle or jug to pour the water on their fur...once wetten, shampoo them thoroughly , use the brush to brush their fur to cleanse off any debris and then rinse off the shampoo afterward. if ur piggy have mites issue.. u can now follow up with a vinegar bath
