No, don't use tea tree oil for the pigs. You can find a shampoo for small exotic pets very easily at Walmart, a pet shop, or online.

Tea Tree Oil is a natural pesticide. I wouldn't use it on the pigs. I use it on my dogs, but I won't use it on my pigs.

I agree with staying away from tea tree oil. I love tea tree oil, and use it for many, many things, but I wouldn't use it on guinea pigs. Another reason is that it is very toxic if ingested, and I would be worried that they could accidentally ingest some off of their fur and they are so small I do not think it would take much of it to make them sick.

Gorgeous Guineas. Worth the price since you aren't going to be using a whole lot of it often.

I just looked at their website and was checking out all of the different kinds of shampoos they have. I was most interested in their conditioning shampoos, but I have a question about one of the varieties. It says it's "Lemon Tea Tree & Lavender". Is that the same as Tea Tree Oil or is it just the scent of the shampoo and has absolutely nothing to do with tea tree stuff at all? lol

Edit: I realize you might not know, but I figured i would just ask anyways. :p
