Help please follow guinea pig parents.... My lovely little Minnie seems to have a really dry foot I have gone into the Google jungle 🙈and I'm now worried its bumble foot? Anyone with experience? What do you think? She seems fine in herself, is eating, playing, drinking etc.
They are on fleece bedding I change the pee pads every /other day, they have a hay room which I do a full change daily and top up again in the evening. Help please! Thanks so much xx

Her feet do not look normal for a piggy kept on fleece.
I would consider making an appointment with a vet to have her checked.
 
It doesn't look like bumblefoot, but it does look irritated... I would get her checked for a fungal infection or other skin problem.
 
I’d be interested to hear what it is. Keep us posted. 😃
 
Thanks so much everyone I took Minnie to the vet yesterday; it's a fungal infection. I picked up some treatment gave her a bath and cleaned out the cage. Hopefully after the course of treatment that'll be the end of it.🐹😊
 
That’s brilliant that you got them to the vets so quickly. Well done. Hope it clears up soon.
