Do people treat their piggies for mites routinely as a preventative? How often and do you use Ivermectin? If so, could you please let me know where you buy it and the correct dosage etc? Thanks. :)
 
There is an absolute wealth of information on guinealynx about Ivermectin http://www.guinealynx.info/ivermectin.html dosing amounts in particular are important to pay attention to as there are different versions of the product available.

I personally wouldn't treat routinely as it is possible for a guinea to have an adverse reaction. Have you seen anything that makes you think mites are present?
