Trying to bite?

[nidawi]

Hi, Iv 2 females, both rescue girls who are approx 2-3yrs. Neve (a texel) has recently started to run away from me when I touch her or try to pick her up, she's also trying to bite me when I touch her hips/rump area. They both got mites shortly after arriving here, but that was treated and they recovered quickly. Iv checked for any signs of fungal infection and there's not...so I wondered if its a behavioural thing?

Grooming and trimming her fur has got very stressful for both of us but she gets quite matty round her bum if I don't brush her at least every orer day.

Hi there. Guinea pigs do not like having their bottoms touched so it may just be that. If she is acting different and is only now not liking it then maybe the mites have not cleared up.
