how to bathe my squirrel?

[eibba8]

Should i bathe my squirrel? I have done it a couple times since we got him, but I'm not sure of the proper methods.
How often should it be done and what products do you suggest?

Thanks!

You really don't need to bath a squirrel, they are really pretty clean, if you feel the need to clean them maybe use a unscented baby wipe.

You really don't need to bathe a squirrel as previously stated, but sometimes they get themselves into situations where they need a little help. My year old fox got onto the table after breakfast one day, and pulled a plate of pancakes with lots of syrup right to the edge of the table, then got on the chair and dumped the whole thing on his head. When I came in from the kitchen he was covered with syrup from head to tail! what I did was take a washcloth with warm water and baby shampoo and used it to wipe him down. It took a few times to get all the syrup out of his coat, but he loved it! After rinsing him the same way, he took the washcloth from me and hid it in his nest box.
