I'm pretty positive my pigs have mites but i'm not sure. Can someone who knows what mites look like tell me if these are mites and what kind of mites they are? Thanks!

Sorry the picture is so blury. My piggie wouldn't stop moving!

Mites are microscopic, you can't see them with the naked eye. That may be dandruff from mites or a fungal issue on the skin. If it's moving around it may be Cavy lice, which my pigs just got treatment for.
