Hi,

Our Texel boy has some dry skin on his feet. Only one of his back feet. It just looks like dry skin and I can’t see any sores underneath it, just looks like normal skin underneath. Could it be just dry skin or is it something more serious? Doesn’t seem to be bothering him. His cage mate is absolutely fine, feet totally normal. He also appears to have broken a couple of his nails so who knows what he’s been doing!

Sorry to hear your piggie has dry feet.

Giving your post a little bump, for someone more knowledgeable to see.
