Misty(my guinea)who had the 'stiff leg problem' also sits with her legs splayed out to the side.I was wondering if this was a problem.

One of my primary schools guinea pigs did the same thing but worse.They stayed at my house a lot in the holidays as i had sat them when it was half term and no one was at school.Will that information help?

She keeps her legs splayed for a while then tucks them under herself.Is it a huge problem or is it just a habbit of some sort?

Misty is the dominant one but she does it even when she is by herself.

Amy x ?
 
i've also had pigs that do this jinx does to some degree but its never seemed a problem maybe they are more comfortable that way or they were born with clicky hips like babies get,
 
As long as she is walking normally, I wouldn't worry :)

One of my males, alfie lies like this too!
 
Thanks for that!

She hasn't been doing it up until now.Its odd but i guess i shouldn't wory.
 
My Misty lies with his legs out to the side like the way you said but he's fine so I don't think it's much to worry about. I think they are more comfortable that way like michellemuffin said :D
