Usually the itching gives it away, but hair loss may be present. If your guinea pig developes something on his skin like a build up of dead skin, raw spots, or continues itching and losing hair take him to the Vet. Even if it isn't Mites you need to have it checked out, since it could be other external parasites, a fungal infection, or Allergies to something. If you have just bought your Pig and it does have any external parasites let the pet store know so they can treat the infection.
