I have been reading and reading and I think my eyes might be bleeding. Hey I'm a poet and I ..... naaahhh that ones too old and corny .. lol. But I have been reading to find out about bathing and showering for my darlin.
So far can't really find anything on these boards and I can't read anymore so, here goes.

I am in Australia (Southern/Victoria) and its still rather cold weather. I want to know when and how often the little darlings like to bath or shower. Do I use a big ceramic bowl, or what is best and how do I start to familiarise him with say with the shower. Should I use a spray water bottle first ? I would love for him to take showers.

I have seen pictures of IRN's spread out totally enjoying their water time. Looking for all the advice I can get. I don't want to scare him off.

Thanks in Advance All

Mist them with warm water once a week. If they want to bathe more they will let you know by doing it in their water dish. :lol:

My girls LOVE to be sprayed or showered. They dont really play in bowls though. Too lazy. They like to stand their wing stretched letting me do all the spraying. I never have to quess where they need it, they turn to make sure they get a good job... very cute.

So ugly when they are wet! :roll:

My older girl likes water going up her noise? She likes to sneeze it out.
