i am treating all of my piggies for mites and was wondering how many washes the bottles will cover?

i have 10 piggies that will need bathing twice. will this be enough?

I would think so. If in doubt, why don't you email Chrissie at Gorgeous Guineas?
 
thank you, i wasnt sure how much you needed per pig so i might just ask :)
 
Are you treated them for lice, or mites?

A 200ml bottle would be the minimum size I'd go for to bath 10 pigs, twice. :)
 
I'm not sure if its lice or mites or both!

its only on the one pig as far as i can see. theyre are little white wormy looking ones and orangey brown walking ones :)>>>

i think il treat for both just in case
 
Lice are the ones you can see, they can be both colours you describe.

I'm treating my 16 pigs for the same, if it's any consolation! Although here is is static lice and mites.
 
Hi

If they have lice and mites its normal to have to wash them 3 times 7 days apart, you have to do this to break the breeding cycle as most shampoos only work on the living lice and not the eggs and the newly hatched mites have to be killed before they reach sexual maturity and start laying eggs again.
