keep the cage cleen first of all and use a 'mites and lice spray'

∙ 16y agoIn many pet shops they sell shampoo or spray. TRY this first. Give it a bath and dry it before putting it back into its hutch. If you dont treat it soon the guinea pigs skin will become infected. Please take it to the vet and he/she will give in an injection if needed! Leave me a comment if you want to discuss Hope this helps Laura
