Dear old Blighty UK
I think my piggies have mange mites :( I'm really upset, have just got back from my holiday & 2 of them appear to have thinning hair on their backs. It doesn't look fungal, it's only slight but I am wondering if the stress of going away from home for 2 weeks set it off.

I'm contacting the vet tomorrow in the meantime they are just on newspaper with their hay in the cage, I took the fleece out before I put them in. What do I need to use to clean their cage out that will stop the mites spreading?
 
Aww what bad luck. I am sorry to hear this. I really hope they can clear soon.
