Today I was doing floor-time with my 3 guinea pigs, and i picked Donal up, And i started to pet him and run my fingers through his fur when i noticed a scab of some sort.

As some know, My Guinea pigs had mites, but they are gone now.
I'm a bit concerned, because they have been nipping quite a bit, and its on the neck and behind the ears where they usually bite when fighting for dominance.

I'm personally not terrified, but id like to know if its anything serious.
Ed, and donal have one, Shadow is almost impossible to check because how fuzzy he is, but i will try soon.
 
On the back of the neck is a good place for scratching too, so it could be that the mites haven't completely gone.
 
No problemo @3 Musketeers ! Mites can be very persistent so it's worth trying longer course. Hopefully your boys will be better very soon.

When I've had a pig with mites then tend to either have a V shape on their back from biting or a scab on their neck from scratching.
