Parasites in rodents

Guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small rodents do not need to be treated monthly against parasites as a standard. They usually keep themselves clean, so preventive treatment is not required. However, your pet may still become infested. In such cases, it is important to treat quickly and effectively with the right products.

Common parasites in rodents:

  • Lice and mites: cause itching, dandruff, and bald patches in the coat.
  • Fleas: less common in rodents, but sometimes passed on from dogs or cats.
  • Worms: such as roundworms, which may cause diarrhea, weight loss, and a dull coat.
  • Mange mites: can cause severe itching and skin problems, especially in guinea pigs.

How can you treat your rodent against parasites?

If your rodent is affected by parasites, there are products that work directly and effectively. One example is Beaphar Anti-Mange, which is specifically designed to treat mange mites. By using the right treatment in time, you can quickly relieve your pet’s discomfort and help prevent further complications.

Natural support

In addition to regular treatments, there are natural products that can be used as support. Verm-X for guinea pigs and hamsters supports healthy digestion, making the intestinal environment less attractive to unwanted guests. Finecto+ Solution for ferrets is based on plant extracts and makes the environment less suitable for parasites, reducing their ability to reproduce. These products are often suitable for preventive use or as a complement to other treatments.

If symptoms are severe or persistent, or if you are unsure about the cause, always consult your veterinarian first for the correct diagnosis and treatment.
