Possible mites?

(blurry) pic attached!

We brought home a new pig last week who we’ve noticed has theses around the crown of his head - there seems to be a few, what look to be, little white/cream bugs

Vet visit is booked in but does anyone have any ideas what these are in the meantime?

Thank you!

Pale crawling bugs are likely to be lice, not mites (mites cannot be seen by the human eye).

That’s really helpful, thank you!
