Hi all,
Just looking for a bit of advice about spotting mites. I know this may sound like the most obvious question in the world, but we've only had our piggies for 10 days and need a bit of reassurance. How can you spot if a piggy has mites? I know about the more advanced symptoms like hair loss and scabbing, but in the early stages what are the signs?
Our boar Teabag seems to scratch quite a bit. I had him inside yesterday as the weather was horrible, so was obviously watching him a lot more than if he was in his run. He seemed to be really scratching a fair bit. I had a good look under his fur and couldn't see any redness or irritation. So am assuming that he doesn't have mites? What is a normal amount of scratching?!
Help!
