I plan to give Elphaba & Letticia (my guinea pigs) their first bath. I know not to wet their heads but is there any advice or pointers for doing this so it will hopefully be successful for both my girls?

Just make sure the water is not too deep or hot, and make sure you use small animal shampoo  Diluted baby shampoo is fine too! When you're finished, dry them really thoroughly, they can catch chills even in the warmest of weather if not dried properly. |

Would using a hair dryer be too much for them? At a low volume and heat of course? I have small animal shampoo for my girls =) |
