The act of cleaning a cavy involves the use of water and gentle cleansing agents to remove dirt, debris, and odors from the animal’s coat and skin. This process is typically performed when the animal is visibly soiled or exhibits an unpleasant smell, addressing hygiene needs that a cavy cannot fulfill on its own.
Regular hygiene practices are crucial for maintaining a cavy’s overall health and well-being. It assists in preventing skin infections, parasite infestations, and the build-up of irritants that can cause discomfort or allergic reactions. This activity contributes directly to the animals quality of life and comfort.
