Bumblefoot?

I was looking at my guinea pig’s paws while I was cleaning their cage and I was wondering if this looked like swelling or if it’s just how the paw is supposed to look? Their cage is always super clean and dry so I don’t know why they would be getting bumblefoot if that’s what this is. Attached are pics of his two front paws. Are the balls of their feet usually a little bulbous and squishy? Or is this considered inflamed? I know the black paw is a little dry but I have coconut oil coming in the mail thatI’m going to use to clean their ears and boar parts and whatnot. Please let me know what you think!138FFFB7-9073-455A-91B7-C475ABC8850F.webpE7590052-BBB4-48BF-9CDF-45261F97FC53.webp
 
That looks pretty normal to me but I’m not sure.

When you say boar bits what exactly do you mean - their private’s or their grease gland? Their ears shouldn’t need cleaning. Have a read of the thread below. And :wel: Please also add your location so I for can be tailored in future. We’d love to see pictures of your boys 😊
