Yes. They can get bugs, mites or fleas, that's if you keep them dirty or outside while it's Nat season! And never let them get cold! Or overheated! In summer bring a guinea pig's water bottle just in case!
yes the can get guinea pig lice
No humans can not give lice to guinea pigs. Guinea pigs and small animals all have a different type of lice that can spread from pig to pig. Humans can't give it to pigs and pigs can't give it to humans, but they can give it to other small animals so be carfeful.
Human Head Lice and Guinea Pig lice are two different types. Humans aren't affected by Guinea Pig Lice and Guinea Pigs are the same for Human Head Lice. You are perfectly safe to hold you guinea pig :)
Peruvians cook guinea pigs. Guinea pigs are native there and they are called Cuy.
Male Guinea Pigs are called Boars, female Guinea Pigs are called Sows, and babby Guinea Pigs are called Pups. A group of Guinea Pigs is called a Herd. :)
Yes, they sure can. Guinea pigs can get fleas and lice just like dogs and cats can. There are powders and such you can buy at pet stores to keep these parasites away from your pets.
No, the human strain of lice can not be transmitted to guinea pigs and vice versa.
Generally, no. The lice that guinea pigs get is mostly species-specific. This means that only guinea pigs, or, quite possibly, other small rodents. Check your other small pets or other cage mates because they might have lice also. If your pet does have lice, immediately take your pet to the vet because guinea pig lice is usually blood-sucking and can do damage in the long-run.
Lice do not generally live in animal fur. I'm 99% sure that parasites that live on guinea pigs will not transfer to human skin.
