Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

If all three are scratching then I think you are either dealing with lice, mites or fleas most likely. I would recommend to use a product called Revolution on them. This product must be carefully calculated based on the weights of each G pig. I would also recommend to take them to the vet to see if the doctor can identify the cause of the problem. Different parasites require different treatment regiments. I hope this helps!
