I put all three in the tub. I have an attachment that run's from the shower head. kind of like what you have in the kitchen. they all get their feet shaved, nails clipped, teeth brushed and eyes cleaned. every 3-4 weeks depending on how smelly or grimmie they are. it's a spa day, they all have a good time.. but we started the fun of bathing when they were babies..
