local farm vet has just been round checking on the cows due to give birth in the field next to barney, so while he was passing i asked him about the problem the guineapigs are having with lice/mites
he has advised something called zerox-p for them which i can go pick up from the practice or most agriculture shops. i knew i recognised the name and after searching have found it online....its the same stuff i used on the mini-pigs for bugs last year.
vet has 'assured' me its safe for kleinevee en huisdieren (small animals and house pets)
but after searching online for ingriedients it is made from a basis of pyrethrum. (ingrediants 0,2% pyrethrinen and 2% piperonyl butoxide) is that not deadly to guineapigs?

i have some lice away drops and shampoo on order but they will take a few days to get here....i think id be better off playing it safe and waiting for the other stuff to come in the post than use this?
