Guinea pig skin problems?
kayla922 asked:
my guinea pig has hair loss under its tummy and little bumps on her skin but it isn’t red or saw. Could this be mites she also has greasy fur that is associated with fungus but she show no other signs of fungus, What can i do to get rid of this. i have been told by lots of guinea pig owners not to go to the vet as they often wrongly diagnose guinea pig skin problems and put them down when all it would have taken was an oil rub to help the animal get better.
Harry rolls you are a wierdo!

Which bedding is best for my rat that has skin problems?
•♥Rat a holic♥• asked:
My dumbo rat, Bonnie, gets sores and scabs and is always scratching herself. So I found online what to do, and one suggestion is to change their bedding. What’s a good bedding to change to that doesn’t normally give off allergic reactions? I currently use “Carefresh Colors”, I think it’s called. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!
Tori- does Carefresh give off dust which can cause allergic reaction? is wood shavings okay?
