mite infestation?

I've recently moved with my 2 male guinea pigs (around 8 monthes old). One is spotted (Berry) and one is black (Bruno). They have been normal until the last few days where berry got very grumpy and kept picking fights. He has always picked fights before but it has never been this bad. When I...

Hello, I’m new to the forum so I hope I am posting in the correct place. We’ve recently adopted a guineapig who we were told is 8 months old and had been attacked by a female guineapig in his cage.

I noticed today that my 2 male guinea pigs seem to be very irritable and itching themselves much more than usual. When I tried to pick them up they chittered angrily and did not want to be picked up. After I wrangled one, I looked at his fur an noticed there were moving parasites on his back...

Hi everyone, I'm a relatively new guinea pig owner, and I seem to be having a problem right now. My girl's left ear always had two patches of black skin, and we thought nothing of it, I kind is dismissed it as just the colour of her skin. But Today I can see one of the patches of black is...

So I went outside earlier today thinking about putting my Guineapigs in their outdoor run before I go on holiday on Friday (as they might not get chance during those 2 weeks my parents/brother is looking after them), and as always I check their upstairs area and find, that although it is fresh...
