Penny is petrified of water. I haven't tried to bathe her yet because she is young. But if you run water and she see's it she freaks. She freaks if I wipe her face with a wet rag. I was going to try to bathe her this week end but she practically turns herself inside out. I am afraid she will hurt herself. She also bites hard during the face wiping. As far as I know she has never had a bath yet. (before I got her)
