Lots of scratching

[PiggiePal]

I'm looking after two lovely foster piggies for Windwhistle Warren in Gloucester at the moment trying to get them more used to people. I've noticed they seem to be scratching themselves alot. Would this suggest they have mites? What is the recommended treatment?
Thanks Alyson

i would treat for mites, xeno 450(ivermectin) is what i use. its one pipette/tube per piggy.

Just a note Xeno 450 is for use in piggies over 800g so you might want to weigh them. If under 800g then you can get Xeno 50.
