| I don't bathe until after their first set of shots, approximately 8 weeks of age. Moms usually do a good job of keeping them clean. You don't want to chance them getting chilled, or stressing mom by taking them away from her.

| Oops! I would bathe mom and babies with Dove dish soap. Great for removing fleas. Make sure that you really blow dry them dry, take extra care with moisture in the ears. Make sure that you wash all their bedding and vacume the area where you have them.
