Have noticed that Bumble scratches a lot more than Bea. We've had them 3 weeks now and she's always scratched more but a bit concerned that she's scratching too much.

Just got her on my knee and checking her over, she looks healthy enough, can't see any problems with her skin other than a bit of a dry patch behind one ear, no bald patches or anything like that. She does run through the hay a lot and being an aby the small bits get caught in her fur.

Anyway my question is do you think I should just bath her in case its the hay or get some treatment and treat them both for mites on the safe side?
 
sounds as though it could be mites. I'd get her checked bt a cavy-savvy vet
