Hi Ric...
This is the answer I received regarding mites and your guinea pigs...hope it helps.

Here goes:
Mites take 5 treatments of ivermectin at a higher 
dose than dogs or cats so i would want to be sure they were giving the 
right 
dose and in between the cages must be treated and litter changed-mites 
are not 
normal on the skin and should always be treated-lastly bedding is always suspect 
so changing was a good thing-tell them NOT to listen to lay people that 
have 
never seen the pigs.
 I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the castoffs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something."  He replied
"I created you."
