Dandruff?

[MWpiggies]

Hi everyone, I was holding Eddie when I noticed what looked like dandruff all over him. He has no bald patches, no excessive itching, his skin doesn’t look irritated, just this dandruff.
does it look like a fungus? Is there any way I can treat it?
Thanks

Sorry I can’t see anything someone else will be along soon.

Sorry about that, here is one you might be able to see better.

Hi!

Sorry I can't see anything either.
Here is our parasite and fungal guide; check for hay mites eggs (chirodiscoides) but otherwise it may be just a little dry skin or skin flakes which should sort itself out. If in doubt, please see a vet for a hands-on examination.

He doesn’t have any of the symptoms mentioned in the link, so I assume it is just mild dandruff. I will take him to the vet if I notice any changes.
Thanks Wiebke

Also, do you guys recommend any guinea pig shampoos I can use for mild dandruff that are available in Canada (gorgeous guineas’ shipping is too expensive)
Thanks!

I wouldn’t wash him unless he is really grubby - it can strip their natural oils which you don’t want. Otherwise I don’t know any other shampoosnim afraid.
