I noticed little white dots on the cage which turned out to be tiny bugs so I gave the guinea pigs a bath and cleaned their cage. I also dumped all my hay in case it was something to do with that and last night I went to bed confident that I got rid of them but this morning they were back there wasn't as much but there were some. They seem to be mostly staying on the grid connectors. I have checked the guinea pigs and I can't see anything on them they do scratch but it feels like normal scratching. I've read about walking dandruff and it seems similar in some ways but something doesn't feel right and I don't know what to do or what it could be. Does anyone have any idea what this is or what to do?
 
What did you use to disinfect? F10 kills pretty much everything.

I just used a water vinegar mix where would I get F10?

My vets sell it (it's what they use themselves)
Amazon sell it. Some specialist pet shops selling exotics (like lizards etc will stock it). It's fabulous stuff.
 
You're welcome. Definitely worth asking your local vets if they can sell you some as it saves waiting for delivery. Mine also sell it cheaper than on Amazon.
