Guinea pigs can get mites for several reasons, they may pick it up from another animal or they may just be living in an environment that needs to be clean. If your guinea pig has mites take it to a vet or call one IMMEDIATELY.

What wrong when your guinea pig twitches badly?
It is usually a sign that she has mites or ticks. If you look through her coat and see something moving, get her to the vet right away so he can give her the medicine to kill the ticks/mites. If she has been checked for mites, then it could just be from excitement or she is frightened. If she is housed with other guinea pigs, it is possible that maybe one of the guinea pigs is scaring her.
