It is beaphar we have and I've read to apply 2nd dose 7-10 days after 1st. I'm doubtful they will clear as guinea pigs still scratching at moment and a week tomorrow since 1st dose. The Xeno has arrived in post but as previous advice post and on box, my piggys too small not sure if I should chance it even Xeno may underdose. Has anyone had any success getting rid of mites with beaphar only?

How much do your guinea pigs weigh again? Do you have an accurate scale?

We haven't weighed them but they are still quite small compared to some of the massive ones I've seen! Sorry to be so vague. Will go to vet as a last resort buy trying to avoid that at moment.

You really need a scale. It is such a valuable tool for keeping track of your guinea pig's weight. Read over www.guinealynx.info/weigh.html
Weigh once a week at least, more if you suspect illness.

You can get a digital scale like this at Walmart:

or:

Both are less than $20.

Thanks for the link we haven't bought scales yet but do intent to although they are both growing rapidly. We took them to the vets for injections and mite problem solved.
We now have a piggy with something white and frothy grown out of it's side (like insect eggs) whatever next! We are worried about this now ☹

Yikes. Sounds like you need to see a vet asap. At least, clean it well and look to see what is going on.

The white stuff not there today the fur looks bit damp, think it's maybe a cyst or a wound from Choco jumping on chewys back with the claws. Oh the stress

Do at least clean it off thoroughly and examine it so you know what you are dealing with. The frothy is very unusual.
