I read about that on guinealynx and did give some thought to it, but since he was treated with Ivermectin about 2 weeks ago and on a regular basis before that, I dont suspect mites are the culprit especially since he never scratches. Im glad to know that his fear of heights is a normal piggy thing and not caused by trauma, I can have a big sigh of relief now and hopefully, with time, he will settle down and be the good little baby I know he is.
