My children and I have several bites in the past week since we got our pigs. We don't have any other pets so wondering if something on the piggies could be the cause?

Yes they can but they can also get other pests like mites and lice. I would recommend a vet visit to check for parasites and get the appropriate treatment depending on what it is. X

Yes, but the also gets mites and lice and several other biting pests. I would see the vet to get it diagnosed so you treat the right parasite, and also to make sure you are using a product dosed to their weight, as over-the-counter flea remedies aimed at dogs and cats are going to be too potent for such a small animal.

I'll make them an appointment on Monday. They're not scratching and there's nothing visable in their fur.
