Dear Sarah,

All animals have a different smell to them, you can improve the smell of
them by keeping their living space clean and tidy, but they are always going
to have some sort of "animal smell". I have many rabbits and guniea pigs
and I have never noticed any offensive smell, however, other people seem to
have a more sensitive nose when it comes to animals than I do.

If the smell of Squeak is particularly strong it could be the materials in
his living quarters that are impacting on this. What do you keep Squeak in
and where do you keep him ? I don't think it's a good idea to bathe Squeak
too often, but it could be his living area that is making his smell
stronger, or even what you are using to bathe him in. I keep my guinea pigs
in a large open area enclosure with some rabbits and there is lots of straw
and hay for them to hide under. All I seem to smell is straw!

I don't think I've really helped you at this stage Sarah, but give us more
info on little Squeak and where he lives and hopefully we can help you more.

Is Squeak your first guinea pig ?

Hope all is well,

Glenda
