I have two babies (5 weeks old). I just found out that their former littermates have mites (I've had the babies for 2 weeks). I noticed my cavies have been itching a bit so I would like to treat them. I saw a post for Beaphar Anti-parasite Spot On ivermectin treatment. Would I need one box per GP? I'm gussing it's supposed to be 1 pipette per week for 4 weeks. If that's the case maybe I only should put on 1/2 pipette since my GPs only weigh 10 1/2 oz each. Any advice would be appreciated before I make the purchase (I have to get it online).

As the babies are only 5 weeks old i would use half a pipette on each pig. You need to re treat after about 2 weeks as you dont want to risk overdosing them. A single pipette treats an adult pig. But as yours as so young half a pipette will be fine. Keep an eye on them and that should do the trick.
