Hello! I just adopted a pair of guinea pigs and I'm pretty sure they have lice. I think my one piggy Boris had them first because when I first held him I noticed he had light scabs along his back. I didn't know what to make of it and I didn't notice him being particularly itchy so I let him and my other piggy Skittles play together. However tonight I noticed that both of them are scratching quite frequently and I'm worried they have lice. (I'm not very happy with their previous owner for not telling me, and/or not noticing that poor Boris was suffering from it). I'm a first time guinea pig owner so I'm not sure how to best approach this situation. I've done a little googling but I keep finding old old threads and no solid answers.
I ordered some Lice 'N Easy from Gorgeous Guines a little while ago but it's going to take a week or so to get here since it's international shipping. Does anyone have any quick relief tips that I can use to help my poor itchy boys!
