What kind of bathing? Dust or water? If it is dust, get a big bowl of it.
Then put them all in the bowl together. They will most likely start to eat
it. Do this atleast every other day. They will eventually get it. Put it
in with the parents also so they can see what the mom and daddy do and they
always copy them. Hope this helps!
