Does my guinea pig have dry skin?

[mm_ham]

Hello. This is my first post here, and really, the only reason I created this account is because I’m slightly worried about my guinea pig. I noticed some specks on his fur and I’m not exactly sure what they are. Dry skin? I honestly don’t know. Does anyone know what the specks are (shown in the pic below) and also what should I do about it? This hasn’t happened to my guinea pig before.

If you are at all worried about your piggy a vet visit is advisable.

My piggy looked like that and it turned out to be dry skin. It is however advisible to see a vet to rule out mites / fungal. That’s what I did
