Guinea pigs itch because of Mites and Lice but mostly fleas, fleas, fleas and FLEAS!!! To get rid of these its best to give your guinea pig a bath in warm water with guinea pig shampoo from the pet store (if you don't have any- use some human shampoo put only just a tiny drop) Then (this is where you really have to go to the pet store no replacements) use mite, lice and Flea spray (or anything with one of those words in it!) and lightly spray over their coat. This defiantly helps! Then use a brush (any old one or small one or even a barbie doll brush!) and brush their coat. This always helps with my guinea pigs i hope it helps with yours!!! danielle (4evaguineapigs) =D
