Hi again my friends! I have found some clear glue like liquid that was dried on my piggies fleece today. I’m assuming it is boar glue but I can attach a photo if it could be something else. I know that they could have boar glue because of dominance but currently the other guinea pig (walnut) and him aren’t getting along so they’re living side by side. I have a few questions
1. Do semen rods always form?
2. What causes boar glue?
3. Any
Lastly, not boar glue related ;)
4. Walnut has been crying during his sleep. It seems like nightmares. And only when he sleeps. Is this normal?
thank you, this forum is beyond kind :)
 
Boar glue is dried semen - it will set as a solid lump which is very difficult to get off. Its nothing to worry about and is entirely normal.

Sperm rods are rods which form inside the penis

The noise while sleeping - I'm afraid I couldn't even guess. Best to see a vet if you are concerned or if he might be in any pain
