Best Answer

My guinea pig's behind gets really wet/damp and smells funky. And yes, that is urine and who knows what. If this is what you mean, then I have a solution:

We trim their hair. Be really careful, and we just used normal household scissors.

Don't cut it too short, but just enough to get rid of the gross stuff.

They look so cute afterwards!

If it is constantly a problem, ask a vet or the pet store for tips.

Is a guinea pig wet when it's born?

Yes, some like the water. If you are giving them a bath, make sure the water is luke-warm (they might go into shock from being in cold water). Towel dry and keep them out of a draft. Sometimes guinea pigs will get themselves wet from their water bottle and you don't have to interfere with that. You should never make the guinea pig "swim". It's not swimming, it's trying to get out because it is drowning.
