I've had his cage lined with fleece plus a fleece blanky for a few months now, no wood at all in his cage, and he rarely gets baths, just a bit for poopy feet maybe once a week (He's pretty clean).
I will try adding the Flaxseed oil and Sunshine Factor to see if they help any, and I will look...
Hey,
Akhiro has already had two treatments of Revolution for mites and is still scratching. When I first went to the vet he suggested Invermectin, and right away I told him of the information I had read in many places on the internet from breeders and owners and that I wanted him to be treated...
He had both of his longest whiskers fall out in a week, when the first one did I didn't think much of it...but once the 3 spines and the other whisker fell out I was a bit alarmed...his mood seems the same, nothing has really changed with him!
Hey guys,
I have an appointment scheduled with the vet for next week as I suspect that Akhiro has mites, he hasn't had any spine loss until tonight all of a sudden I noticed 3 and 2 whiskers?! Has anyone else's hog ever had this happen?
Pet store vs. breeder, such a tricky subject really, there are so many cons with pet stores BUT that is where my little Akhiro came from.
I actually took him from my little sister (10 years younger then me) because she wasn't giving him the love and attention he needed, he started to bite her...
