I have to chins that have white bellies and not so white bottoms. I was wondering if there is away to clean that area. I saw a video on youtube of an owner giving a chin a water bath but I was hoping for another technique?

Use unscented baby wipes on the area and then give him a dust bath. You can also add cornstarch to the dust whiten things up.

if the wipe doesnt work..........i have tried a warm damp wash cloth with a little baby shampoo diluted and wipe with that. it got off some critical care when i was handfeeding.
the roughness of the cloth helped a little, mixed with the moist soaped washcloth. i then wiped with just a slighlty wet cloth to get any soap off and then a nice fluffy hand towel. later when pretty much dry i would let him dust. if you dust too soon it gets clumpy
