In Reply to: Can you rub babie oil on your ig to buff them up? N/P posted by Christy on December 27, 1999 at 15:37:40:

i would stongly suggest NOT using anything on him/her *just* to "buff them up"!!!

you definitely *do not* want to totally cover your ig's body with any kind of oil, vaseline, a + d ointment, etc!!! their skin needs to *breath*!!! you could very well end up suffocating your ig!!!

if there is a problem spot shed-wise, that's different ... but you do not want to use baby oil because it is scented ... maybe use UNscented, plain-old mineral oil ... in SMALL amounts + areas!

personally, i use aloe vera gel for iZ ... it's not greasy + it's *safe* ... use the kind that's 100% aloe with NO perfumes, additives, etc ...

best wishes,
iZ's mom
