Black nipple

[Jesscalvert]

Hi. I when i was washing my guinea pig i noticed that she had a black nipple but when i checked on Sunday it was the same colour as the other one. Hopefully someone can tell me if i should be worried

What colour is the other nipple and what colour is the skin around the nipples?

Has it been sitting in something that has caked to it? If you are worried about the nipple, please see a vet.

That sounds like something has stuck to the nipple for some reason but is coming off when you wash gently.
