I was cleaning out my guinea pigs' ark when I saw these small black bugs, I took everything out, even the bottom, and I swept it down. Is it anything to worry about? Here are some pictures IMG_20190629_123403.webpIMG_20190629_123327.webpIMG_20190629_123319.webp

Hi!

Please give your cage/hutch a good deep clean, but they are not guinea pig specific parasites.

Small insect infestations are not uncommon during the summer months. Please change your bedding very regularly.
