Problem: Article: Most guinea pigs should be able to keep themselves clean, but some long-haired guinea pigs may need to be bathed more often. Bathing guinea pigs may increase their risks of becoming ill, as they become chilled easily. Minimize this risk by keeping guinea pigs in warm towels until their fur is completely dry. Attentive grooming and brushing can minimize your need to fully bathe your long-haired guinea pig. You can brush your guinea pig with a soft-bristled baby brush. You may also want to trim the hair around long-haired guinea pig's bottom to minimize how dirty the hair gets while your guinea pig uses the toilet. If you feel that your guinea pig needs frequent baths, talk to your vet about weighing the risks of frequent bathing against the benefits of a cleaner guinea pig. Be sure to only use a shampoo that is specifically labeled as safe for guinea pigs. Do not use human shampoo or dish detergent, as these may be too harsh and can cause skin irritation. Some specific shampoos that are safe to use are Scentsations Premium Small Animal Shampoo and Posh 'n Go Protein Shampoo.
Summary: Bathe your guinea pigs only as needed to keep them clean. Use an appropriate shampoo.

Problem: Article: Pour cup (120 ml) of vinegar into 1 quart (1 liter) of warm water. Use distilled white vinegar. Then mix in cup (59 ml) of borax. Mix the ingredients together in a pitcher until they are well-combined and the borax is completely dissolved. Alternatively, you may use 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. However, do not dilute it with water or mix it with borax. Instead, use straight peroxide, or mix 1 part peroxide to 1 part vinegar. You can purchase borax from your local pharmacy or grocery store. Then spray the mold with the solution. Make sure to spray a generous amount of the solution onto the affected areas in your shower. You may have some solution leftover. As you clean the mold, re-fill the bottle as needed. Depending on how much mold you have, you may need to let the solution set for longer like 30 minutes to an hour.
Summary: Make a mold-killing solution. Fill a spray bottle with the solution. Let the solution set for 10 to 15 minutes.

Problem: Article: Metal frames are a great way to hang any metal prints sizes 20in 20in (510mm 510mm) and larger. The frame is typically 1.3in (33mm) deep. You can hang the frame to the wall using its wire hanger and a nail. Stand-outs are 34 inch (19mm) thick, edge-banded foam board. They are mounting devices that make your print ready to hang. Stand-outs come in two sizes, either Reveal or Flush Cut. Both options come with metal hanging brackets and can be used with all sized prints. Reveal style stand-outs have rounded corners and are 18 inch (3.2mm) smaller than your print. Use if your print has rounded corners. Flush cut stand-outs have sharp, square corners. You can select black edge banding for all sizes. White, silver, or maple edge banding is available for certain sizes. Purchase these stand-outs from a craft store, home supply store, or camera supply store. Stainless steel posts are 34in (19mm) in diameter and hold your aluminum print 34in (19mm) off the wall. Attach the posts through 4 holes in the 4 corners of the metal print. To attach your print to the wall, screw the barrels of the posts to the walls, and then attach the threaded caps into the stainless steel barrels. You will have to select this mounting option when ordering your metal print so that your print will come with 4 holes pre-drilled for easy assembly. Posts are available for mostly all sizing options, though they work best for sizes between 8in 8in (200mm 200mm) and 30in 40in (760mm 1,020mm). Acrylic coverings with metal posts create a professional and finished frame, often used in art galleries. You can select plastic acrylic in 14in (6.4mm) or 12in (13mm) to protect the surface of your print. The acrylic will arrive with pre-drilled holes for easy assembly, so be sure to select this mounting style when ordering your aluminum print. Acrylic and metal posts work great for metal prints 16in 16in (410mm 410mm) and larger, as well as panoramic sizes.
Summary: Use a metal frame for your larger aluminum print. Purchase stand-out mounts to make your print a statement piece. Go with stainless steel posts to give your prints a modern look. Hang your print with acrylic and metal posts for a gallery-quality look.

Problem: Article: If you don't already have squirrels, you can attract them to your yard quickly if they can easily find food. Set up the feeder near a tree or on a garden hook, and make sure it's easily accessible for you and the animals. Look for squirrel-specific feeders or simple mesh feeders so that the squirrels can easily locate and retrieve the food. However, this can often mean that large birds and other animals may access the squirrel food. Try to keep these animals away as much as possible to encourage the squirrel visitors to stop by! It's best to try to hand feed the squirrels in your own yard, since it will take time for them to trust you. If you often visit a park or other area where squirrels eat, they might be willing to eat from your hand there. Make a mixture of tree nuts with shells, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, and acorns to promote gnawing. Add in some bird seed for extra nutrients, and place the mixture in a feeder outside. Keep it separate from other feeders so that the squirrels can easily access it from trees. If you're worried about the squirrels getting into your other feeders, set up squirrel baffles, like wind chimes or reflective surfaces, to repel them. Place a few handfuls of grapes, apples, broccoli, or zucchini outside for the squirrels to eat. These will provide more nutrition and lure the squirrels back to your yard for a treat that they can't find elsewhere! Keep track of what the squirrels seem to eat the most of. If they seem to like the grapes more than the apples, increase the amount of grapes you feed them. The squirrels will learn to trust you because you're a reliable source of food. Create a safe outdoor space, such as a corner of a porch or a garden. Try to feed them at the same time every day so they don't go elsewhere to look for treats. You might even notice that the squirrels will begin to come up to your windows to peer inside if there's no food in the feeder! When you see squirrels, go outside and stand as close as you can to the feeder without scaring them off. Be very still and quiet at first. Then, begin making clicking noises with your mouth to emulate the sounds that squirrels make to communicate. This will help them get used to your presence while they eat and will teach them to trust you. If you're not sure what sounds to make, look up videos of squirrel noises to get a better idea. Try to be as still as possible to avoid scaring off the squirrels. If this is your first time approaching them, sit or stand nearby, and try to ignore them as much as possible while they eat.
Summary:
Set up outdoor mesh feeders to get squirrels to come to your yard. Start with natural squirrel food, like tree nuts, seeds, and flower buds. Entice squirrels with sweeter treats, such as fruits and vegetables. Put out food every day to associate your scent with feeding time. Stand near the feeder when the squirrel is eating and make clicking noises.
