Hi everyone, should I use mite spray bottle for my guinea pig to prevent mites. If so, how often should I use it, and can I use it on the pups?

I've never heard of a spray bottle being used before. I wouldn't personally. Especially not on pups.
Pups under 350g require vet treatment for mites, lice etc. Just have some ivermectin on hand for if you notice any excessive scratching, biting, or pain to the touch. the .5% pour on cattle kind is best I believe, but does need diluting. There's a chart on Guinea Lynx on how-to.

I don't know what you mean by "mite spray bottle" but there's no need to treat for mites unless you have a reason to suspect they have mites.

Thank you all,
My pigs don't have mites, but the previous owner of my silkie told me to use "mite spray bottle" every six months to prevent mites lol
