dripping wet, what do do you do?

i was just wondering if it is ok to put them near a heater blower while they sit in a cage until they dry a bit.

any advice would be great! =)

I blow dry Hobbs with the hair dryer on the low setting. I brush him while I am drying him.

Ssome time I let them dry on their own or I blow dry on low.

Oscar likes being snuggled in a warm towel ( fresh out of the dyer if ya got one) and then the hair dryer for a bit he gets bored with that easily tho when he's mostly dry he has to run and roll on the floor, shake and try to get some of that nasty clean off of him. takes him a long time to get that dirty and he doesn't appreciate me ruining it. But anything is better than the haircuts.

I put 3-4 rowels right out of the dryer and Cali rubs in them until she is pretty dry and then I comb her and blow dry her. She loves the blow dryer.

I rub gently with a warm towel--but then we love to dig in our basket and roll and run everywhere at top speed! Blow dry--no way! lol! I make sure the heater is on!

That is Rocco's routine, too. Bella, age 3 months, get bathed, then I plunk her on the bathroom counter and fight her as she tries to bite the warm air! She thinks it's a game. Sunday is bath day at our house.

You're welcome. Someone on here posted that link a few days ago, and I loved it. I thought I'd share the laughs!

I blowdry Rosi also !

SnowWa · 05-07-2006, 05:31 PM

I towel dry mine with three or four small towels - until he is almost completely dry and then let him go - and "go he does...." doing all the "after the bath behavior."

If I couldn't get him as dry as I do - I'd use a blow dryer.
