Hello,
We adopted two guinea pigs a few weeks ago and one came down with ringworm. The second piggy got it, in a milder form, right after the first. We are now treating them orally and topically and one piggy's skin has cleared up and the other piggy is on the mend. It was only on their noses and very small spots. We have a C & C cage with fleece flippers and they have all kinds of wood toys and wooden and hay tunnels for them to run through. I have received conflicting advice as to whether or not we have to throw away everything that we cannot wash. Some people say yes and some say no. They are shy little babies and thank goodness we can keep their fleece and corner cabins clean, but as for the wood toys and wooden and hay tunnels, do they have to go? I don't mind replacing them, I am just afraid they will not have anything to chew on and also be more stressed with so much space and nowhere to hide and play. Any and all advice would be appreciated. We just want to get them well.
