Skin Problem On Young piggies

Piggy's Baby update... Taken care by Intan on the 7th July 2012.

Skin Problem on Guinea Pig are very common especially when their young. Guinea Pig have sensitive skin, that why their prone to Fungal and Parasitic problem ( hence used in cosmetic testing). We at Tobyfarm has encounter this problem many time already, so we like to share our remedy on curing it Tobyfarm style.


1. Determine the problem, look for other Gpig are they share the same problem?
2. Quarantine Infected Gpig in separated cages.
3.Treat them using baby oil or Vaseline cream (fungal  or parasite only).
4. Bathe them once a week.
5. Feed them Grass (rumput kerbau) constantly.
6. Make sure their home cages are kept clean at all time.
