External Parasites

External parasites are commonly picked up by guinea pigs and are easily passed on to other piggies through close contact. Some parasites can cause a great deal of irritation so do check regularly and treat immediately with our Lice 'n' easy shampoo to wash them away and help your guinea feel more comfortable. Guinea pig parasites are usually species-specific, so you don't generally need to worry about catching anything nasty from your guinea.
