you should be asking "can you not get scabies from a ginea pig"
Certainly if the guinea is infested with the itch mite (an insect) commonly referred to as scabies. Scabies are easily passed from person to person so I would assume they could just as easily be passed from person to guinea pig. All it requires is close contact. Jeff T. RN
