What are mites?

Mites are very small and almost invisible to the naked eye. There are different types of mites, one type of mite causes more discomfort than the other. The complaints of your rabbit, guinea pig or other rodent are therefore also related to the type of mite that the animal is suffering from.

Your pet can get mites from contact with them in hay or straw. Wild birds, rats and mice can also spread mites. Mites can also be easily passed on by infected animals. They also hide in the bedding and cracks and seams of the cage. So good hygiene of your rabbit, guinea pig or hamster's home is also very important to prevent mites. Did you know that some mites from your pet are even contagious to humans?

What types of mites are there?

Scabies mite

Mange is common in guinea pigs and other rodents. Mange is caused by a mite that literally burrows into the skin. This really causes a lot of discomfort for your guinea pig or rodent:

- Extreme itching, which can even cause a seizure
- Lots of scratching and biting
- Loss of fur and bald spots
- Unexpected jumps
- Scabs which can lead to bacterial infections
- Sores often start around the lips and nose, later spreading over the rest of the body
- Losing weight and less appetite

If your pet suffers from scabies, be alert to your own skin. Scabies is also contagious to humans.

Fur mite

The Cheyletiella is the 'fur mite'. This type of mite causes little or no itching. In general, this mite is not very contagious for humans, it could possibly cause a mild skin infection in humans. An infection in your rabbit, guinea pig or other rodent can be recognized by the following symptoms:

- Flakes in the coat/dandruff
- Loose hair
- Bald spots
- Possibly dark spots on the hair
- No or very mild itching

The fur mite is best detected by combing with a very fine comb (such as a flea comb) and then looking under a microscope. In the case of a fur mite infestation, the mites and eggs are then visible.

Mites in rodents and rabbits

Both fur mites and mange mites can be tackled with Beaphar Anti-Mange for rabbits and guinea pigs. This effective spray is used against the direction of the hair, so that the liquid reaches the skin. Repeat the treatment after 1 week. Smaller rodents can be treated with Beaphar Anti-Parasite . A handy squeeze pipette that you administer to the neck of the animal. This pipette is effective for 4 weeks.

Other tips for combating mites

- Keep infected animals separated from others, as mites are highly contagious
- Treat all rodents to prevent re-infestation
- Also ensure good hygiene. Remove the entire ground cover once a week and - clean the enclosure thoroughly with, for example, Beaphar Multi Cleaner
- Also treat the enclosure with Mite Blocker Combi ; a product without insecticides and very effective against mites
- Also think about cleaning/replacing toys and houses in the enclosure, especially in the seams and cracks of wooden toys/houses the mites can be found and can re-infect your animal

With these tips, your guinea pig, rabbit, hamster or other small rodent will be back in top shape in no time! Of course, mites are not the only cause that can cause changes to the skin and coat. Fungus and lice can also be the cause.

What are lice

Lice are larger than mites and therefore visible in the fur with good eyes, or a magnifying glass. They are grey and a few millimetres in size. They move a lot slower than fleas, for example. If your rabbit, guinea pig, hamster or other small rodent has lice, you don't have to worry that you will get them yourself. Lice from animals do not transfer to humans. If you keep multiple (species of) rodents together, it is wise to treat them all.

Recognizing lice in rabbits and rodents

Lice in rodents and rabbits do not drink blood. Lice walk over the skin and hair and feed on skin flakes. They lay their eggs on the hair, which we call nits. You can recognize lice in your rabbit or rodent as follows:

- Rougher, brush-like coat
- Flakes in the coat
- Usually no itching
- Sometimes the animal behaves restlessly
- White dots (nits) in the coat, visible with good eyes/magnifying glass
- Later stage: bald spots/scabs

Combating lice in rabbits and rodents

Lice in rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and other small rodents can be easily and effectively combated with Beaphar Anti-Parasite. Choose the variant that is tailored to the weight of your pet and read the package insert for the dosage. This squeeze pipette is administered in the neck of your animal and then works for four weeks. In the meantime, it is important to also apply the tips below so that your animal does not become infected again after these four weeks.

Other tips:

- It is wise to treat all your rodents and rabbits, even if they do not seem to have lice. This will prevent re-infestation as much as possible.
- Good hygiene of the enclosure is also very important. Clean the enclosure thoroughly with Beaphar Multi Cleaner and replace the ground cover at least once a week.
- You can also treat the enclosure with Mite Blocker Combi, this product contains no insecticides and is very effective against lice.
- Don't forget to clean/replace toys and houses in the enclosure, especially in the cracks and crevices of wooden toys/houses lice can be found and can infect your rabbit or rodent over and over again.

What are worms

Your rabbit, guinea pig, hamster or other small rodent can become infected with worms by eating a worm egg. Animals that are outside or eat green food from outside have an increased risk of worms. Animals can also infect each other with a worm infection.

The egg enters the body of your pet. The worm comes out of there and the worms multiply. At first, you will not notice much of this in your pet. But you can still look for certain symptoms to recognize worms in rabbits and rodents.

Recognizing worms in rabbits and rodents

Worms are not always visible in the feces of rabbits and rodents. Sometimes you can see worms in the feces, but it is better to be alert to the following symptoms of a worm infestation:

- Changing stools (e.g. slimy, diarrhea, abnormal size of the stools)
- Rougher/standing coat
- Weight loss
- Decreased appetite
- Swollen abdomen

Tip: If your pet is losing weight and has a reduced appetite, be sure to check their teeth and contact your vet.

Combating worms in rabbits and rodents

To combat roundworms and whipworms in rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters or other rodents, use Beaphar Anti-Parasite . This product also works against mites and lice in your pet. You can easily administer it in the neck with a squeeze pipette. This way, your pet cannot lick the liquid. The product is effective for four weeks.

Other tips for combating worms

- Does your rabbit, guinea pig, hamster or other small rodent suffer from worms? Then treat all rodents. Worms are transferable and only visible at a late stage. This prevents re-infection.
- Also keep the cage clean with Beaphar Multi Cleaner and replace the ground cover at least once a week. Do you also think about cleaning houses, food bowls and other materials in your animal's enclosure?
