Bathing a GP once a week is fine though consider regular. But it's fine being in a tropical climate, a GP will not catch cold or pneumonia that easily if they are dry properly.
The frequency of bath depends on the condition of individual GP too. Some are easily soiled, some may not.

Bathing will moisturize and cool their skin, while blow drying at a close distance burn their skin. Blow drying should be done with caution and during desperate rainy days.
Best is let them air dry under a shade near sunglight (not direct), or placing heat lamps.

Using wrong shampoo can cause dryness to their skin, right shampoo is also another factor.

Bathing "more than once a week" tend to wash away their oil substance of their natural coating.

Some may want a bit of greasy look on their GP may apply just 1 drop of natural essence aroma therapy oil on their coating.

Another option is to sponge bathe them, they are not thoroughly wet.

The other method is just washing the part that is dirty and leave the rest dry, which usually is their bottom. Just apply soap and wash the bottom and towel it. I do that once a week aside from their weekly bath.

Now there's also a method called powder bath.

because im keeping him in my campus. not very spacious kn. thats y i had to buy cage instead of buying the DIY one's.

i wish he could have a bigger space but i dont want my parents to look after him. they r too bz too take care of robbie since ive got 2 rabbits, 1 gerbil, 1 cat & a tortoise at home.

sgt handfull. since robbie is very manje, i decided to bring him here.

so he gets all the attention by himself.

haha...icic...
then no choice ady..
jus let him come out often lor....

owh he does know where to go.

very playful & cheeky sometimes.

well what can i say, he's the attention seeker.

U lucky because robbie is a male Gp, if female ur room will be noisy.

Talk about noise, ur guys male GP make a loud noise?

I dont think i heard male make a sound, if do very smooth, not loud as female.

Now my 'granchild' also know how to make loud sound , dats mean she's a female. is it?

I still not sure of my 'granchild' gender. coz their 'thing' very small.

sharil, my boy oinks loudly okeyyyy. high pitch plak tu. hihi. mcm girl, but he's definitely a boy.

sgt mengade. esp when he heards plastic scrapping sound or anyone enters the room. he tot im gonna give him more food.

he normally pura2 shy2 at first but once he recognize the people around the house.

there he goes~~~~~

squeek squeek all the way.

Really.. !!! sorry..
Its really hard to hear mine male GP oink loudly... Maybe the female already did so he just keep quiet.

Hahaha... dats mean he suits with u.

At night , I always make careful movement when go out from my room, if they see me, they will oink oink and disturb my fren dat sleep at hall. huhuh

how to check is there any lice n mites in their body?
i newly got a pair piggies approx 2 month frm taman megah...

Lice is quite easy to spot, take them under the sun or well lit room and look at the light colored hairs if theres any moving black specks on the fur. For mites you cant see them so just check their ears and around eye area for flaky/bumpy/reddish/peeling skin.
