My vets gave it to me when some of mine had mites, it's better than the stuff you get from the pet shop (Beaphar) but it is quite expensive and I think you have to buy 6 tubes in a pack - you can get it online.
Worked on mine - but you need to be sure it's mites and not anything else / fungal

This is the cheapest I have seen and their postage is free and quick.
Wondered what made you think it was mites? Gorgeous guineas pages has info on how to tell the difference between mites and fungal or lice!

would the xeno spot on be any good?
It is what my vet uses for mites...
I need to speak to him because in my herd I also have an 8-week-old

Xeno 50 is used for mini pigs, this was in another thread yesterday:
"Xeno 50 is a lower dose for mini pigs, it does advise dosage per weight on the packet, annoyingly it seems to come in packs of 9!
It gives dosage per bodyweight but most mini pigs will be over 200g (1 tube)
It says
200-300g - 1 tube
300-400 - 1.5 tubes
400-600 2 tubes
600-800 3 tubes
So you'd need to weight the 8 weeks old and treat with Xeno 50 I think - but best check with your vet

Have just bought s0me zeno 450 for my piggies and Vets uk offered the best price About £16- £17 for a pack of six tubes.I took one piggie to the vet and was charged £12 consultation and £5 for one tube so I decided to buy my own. Of course if it doesnt work then I will be back to the vet !
