Guinea pig bald spot

[Prasiddha]

Hi friends,

My two boys get along well. Icy 11 months old and brownie 5 months old. Icy (father) and brownie (son) stay together. Brownie past one month is putting his boar glue on his father bum. I am in India and getting a good vet itself is difficult. My doctor is not confident enough to neuter my boars. So i Left it to icy's will to clean his own fur wen brownie puts his boar glue on him. But eventually there is a very big bald spot on his bum. What should I do? It is not infected nor swollen. But there is absence of fur on his bum (coin sized area of fur missing). Please help with your advice.

Oh dear! Have you tried a "humpy toy?" Eventually he will stop doing that as he moves out of adolescence. Poor Icy.

Thank you for your reply. What is an humpy toy?

Some owners put small, furry toys in the cage as it sometimes alleviates constant mounting.

@Prasiddha Don't worry about it, I've had it happen to a few of my pigs before. It has dried on so close to the skin that I wouldn't dare try to cut it off so I've left it. Then the pig pulls it off themselves and leaves a bald patch. The hair should grow back soon.
