I suspect mites and/or lice. Tuppence has a slight bald patch on her back, with very pink and red skin. I saw little black specks in the area, so I am thinking lice. Charlie has very dry, white skin on his black ears. He had this before and the diagnosis was mange mites.
I would treat the pigs myself, but I have found nowhere that will ship Ivermectin and Advantage to Northern Ireland for a decent price. And they won't sell it over the counter to us either. In a way I want to take them to the vets to get treated, a) because I want them to have a general check-up too, and b) I get to see how good the exotics vet here is.
I know Lottie and Jaz need to go too, but my mum just wants to take Charlie and Tuppy this week, and then the other 2 next week.
