How much itching is too much for a guinea pig?

Question

Just wondering how much a healthy guinea pig should itch whether its not at all or a little-to moderate. I currently own 2 female guinea pigs, and I've noticed one itches a litte bit when out for floortime but otherwise I dont really notice her itching at all, and occasionally one (or both) will itch in their cage. Just wondering how much is too much. Thanks in advance!! :]

Answer 2

not horribly but if they start losing there fur take it to the vet

Answer 3

Well I have 3 guinea pigs and they don't itch that much, but sometimes animals itch when they are nervous or stressed, which is probably why yours are when they're out of the cage. I would ask your vet just to double check.

Answer 5

Answer 6

well i have had 4 guinea pigs in my life, but my current guinea pig scratches occasionaly as in a few time a day, but if you are getting worried they do have this stuff at the pet store that you spary the guinea pig with then wash it off hope that helps :)
