Guinea pigs can get mange through contact with other infected animals or contaminated environments. Poor hygiene and a weakened immune system can also increase the risk.
Well, guinea pigs usually catch mange mites when they come into close contact with another guinea pig that already has them. Also, a dirty living environment or if the guinea pig's health is not good, it becomes more prone to getting these mites.
Treating mange in guinea pigs usually involves a visit to the vet. They can prescribe the appropriate treatment based on the severity. Sometimes, it could be a combination of medications and changes in the pet's environment for better recovery.
No, humans typically can't get mange directly from guinea pigs. Mange is a specific condition that usually affects the species it infects and doesn't easily transfer to humans.
