Put them in your hair.. Lol! I know its disgusting, but I have quite the story involving slugs and hutches. After reaching in to retrieve a piggy one day after a particularly rainy night, I noticed something cold and wet on my neck.. A slug had gotten lodged in my hair after I reached into the...

If it's static lice that usually comes from the hay so It may be worth Binning the current bag and trying a new one. You've disinfected the hutch and washed bedding at 60 so there's nothing more you need to do. They've had Xeno so unless they get worse (start going bald)/ scabby you don't need...

I would recommend to change the hay. Personally, I find getting a bottle of F10 disinfectant concentrate or spray very effective for any deep clean, as it is the only one that also kills ringworm spores; most disinfectants are only antibacterial, not antifungal. Sadly, vet bills are the biggest...

Hi, (Another question) I posted about my guinea pigs having a URI obviosuly this has been in their cage and outdoor hutch. As I've been told it's a bacterial what disinfected/anti bac is recommended? Thank you!

I previously posted about my guinea pig who developed a crusty inner ear. The veterinary nurse gave me some mylozone or something spray to apply generally (plus a squirt in the ear) twice a day. It's been 8 days now and although the actual ear is looking better, it seems to have spread to where...

Hi everyone, noticed that Honey has a bald patch on her rump a couple of days ago. I've been putting on GG's Kwench lotion since then, and have tweaked out the hair which looks like it should come out. The skin looks fine, but her hair has dandruff type stuff attached to the bottom of them. I...

Thank you for replying :) I am really pleased that I can keep them together, is there anything I should know about bathing them or is it straightforward? I have bought some f10 so will get to work with that when ready. The new hutch is huge, 6ft long and then it has a ramp down into a 6ft x 10ft...

Hi and welcome! You may find our ringworm hygiene thread helpful. Ringworm: Hygiene And Pictures Your girls can go together, provided that you give the companion a medicated bath once a week during the acute phase, and both girls an antifungal bath at the end of the treatment and then again...

Hi! firstly, please make sure that you or your vet know exactly what kind of parasite you are dealing with. What you are describing is fur or hay mites, which usually come with the hay. They are the least invasive of parasites. However, your vet should also look for signs of mange mites or...

I've had the privilege of spending 2 years with our lovely three girls. They have been outdoor pigs up until the weather became really cold and strong winds in November (Peterborough UK). I then set them up indoors to live with us . Not once in the 1 and a half years of outdoor living in a hutch...

That's a good idea about the sudocream, I will try that, it's magic stuff! They live in a plastic indoor hutch I have washed it out with beaphar hutch disinfectant. What do I fumigate with? I didn't realise I had to do that!

and can't get anymore until later in the week.. Is there anything I would have around the house at I can safely use to clean the hutch or shall I just use hot water? Thanks

My Routine - 14 piggies, 2 sheds, 1 hutch, all rescue, retired or free to good home piggies Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs Morning - All - Spot clean heavy traffic area, fill food bowl, change water, add hay - (nb, i don't remove used hay as my piggies like to lie on it, nest in it etc), Health...

I don't think so as long as the hutch as had a very good clean ! With disinfect (detto) it such be ok. And if its wood use a bit of sand paper where the rabbits when to the toilet they.hope this helps , you could put a picture of the hutch on here

I recently bought a second hand hutch for my guinea pigs. It was previously used by rabbits but I scraped out all the poo and disinfected it. I know that some rabbits carry patella which kills guinea pigs and I wandered if my guinea pigs could catch it by being in the hutch?

It takes me around Around three hours and an aching back to fully clean and disinfect a two level 5ft hutch in a garage. I spot clean for half an hour twice a day, then clean out there cage fully once a week. It's amazing how many poops two 2 year old sows can produce!

Thankyou, I told my mum what you said and she will take him to the vet as soon as possible. I find it suprising that when I was little when we had guinea pigs (quite a lot of them at the time) we never had one with a health issue. I am going away for a few days but my mum will still be here to...

Please have that wound seen by a vet as soon as you can afford to! It does NOT look like a bite wound from a fight and could be - where it is - either due to fungal or mange mites; to me, it looks rather like the beginnings of ringworm than mites. But that needs to be decided by a vet who can...

Hello all :) I've been reading loads on this the last couple of days but have a couple of specific questions I can't find the answers to.. I suspect our boys have mites (we've only had them a week, they're 11 weeks old..) so I gave them their first dose of Beaphar (ivermectin) 2 days ago...
