Junior Guinea Pig
sorry it is so messy
so i have 3 guinea pigs one peachy, one Daisy, one poppy. they are kinda scratching a bit, upset when i touch them a bit.have had them for 6 months. poppy is 3 yo, daisy and peach are 1 yo. they use to popcorn a bit sometime but daisy has a heart condition and poppy is a bit overweight 870 last time we checked her about, nov dec i think improved diet now . they have white flaky skin a bit daisy once on her mouth came off easy looked like sleep not came back but she does not like me brushing her or looking in her fur to check. poppy has think white ish flaky skin on her fingers but she is getting used to using our toilets and does go in a comer but she is learning i do know that it can be her hands get"ting wet causing it, other then the her fingers no other flaky skin . peachy had flaky skin on her foot it came of really easy i thought it just was a bit of dead skin she does not like me touching her fur either but this is her 3 home and she is only one it is all of their 3 homes but this morning i looked at peachy lips they had the same flaky skin i leafed it alone came home i just took of a little bit to make sure it was the same think from before where the skin comes of easy and the hair follicles and hair too ( it was the same thing as before) like if it is her skin. the existing skin after gets tender but i cant put a banded on it in case is stops blood flow i have tryed the cornstarch and water on a another guinea pig before (poppy toe) she just ate it. tho peachy did not cry or scream when i touched it and then i leafed the rest alone. what do i do i am so worried. i think i should take them to the vet but i don't know if i am overacting i am so confused first time guinea pig owner i think they might have mits they do sometimes go outside. also it is autumn right now and next month it is winter, i am in australia temp is like 23 to 10 i do try to keep then warm.
please give your advise thank you
have a nice day or night
