Lice?

[Hannah8881]

Evening everybody,

I have just been out to give the boys a groom and i was checking through Jack's fur and noticed he has extremely dry skin and then i saw a tiny white thing running through his fur. I tried to pick it out but i couldnt get a grip it was so small. Is it lice? I checked Marley too and he has a tiny bit of dry skin but did not see any lice. How can i get rid of them if it is lice etc? I need as much information and advice as possible as i have not been through this before.

Thank you

I haven't any experience of this but most people seem to recommend lice 'n' easy shampoo from Gorgeous Guineas

Both sites give excellent information about all sorts of things guinea pig and are worth adding to your favourites.

Thank you i have looked over them and yes i think it's definately lice. I am going to purchase some lice n easy now. I don't suppose you know if i can use it for normal use as well or do i need to get another shampoo for inbetween treatments?

Thanks again
