Adult Guinea Pig
I've read various posts on here and Guinea Lynx about bathing piggies but I just had a few more questions, one of which is about behaviour and bonding as well so I hope putting it here with the bathing questions is okay.
Firstly, my piggies have just turned 12 weeks and I need to give them a Lice 'n' Easy shampooing as they have hay mites, as the bathing sticky has informed me, I need to condition and nit comb them however I can't find guinea pig conditioner anywhere? Can anyone suggest what to get for a conditioner? Also I'd like to clarify that only one shampoo is okay initially, and then another after a week?
Secondly, my girls have been bickering quite a lot lately (I believe they came into season) and although they appear to have calmed down, Bella has a small scab on her back which is probably from a little nip as they'd had dominance problems for about a week. Is it okay to bath with Lice 'n' Easy shampoo with a scab? If so, will bathing change their smell and cause a problem between them relationship/bonding/dominance wise?
Apologies for the essay, I just want to do things right as this is my first time.
Thanks for reading!
