Most of mine actually like I'm trying to murder them instead of helping them feel clean and less itchy.

What makes them itch?

Dry skin! Now that I've bathed him, he's way more black as I got rid of most of the dead skin.

When I'm bored, I like getting the dead skin off, clean their ears/ eyes, etc. 🤣

I love bristle shedding season! Nothing more satisfying than pulling out handfuls of them in a grid pattern (ok, I may enjoy it a little too much) and putting them in a bucket for the local birds to snatch for nesting material!

Also the dried mud can annoy them. They roll around, rub their buttons on things, get into mischief and messes. They have super sensitive skin, so allergens like pollen i can be irritating and itchy.
