Guinea pig foot color.

[Kailanicole]

My guinea pig Peach (4 years old) has a foot color that I'm not sure is normal. I have a really bad memory due to brain damage so I cannot remember if his foot has always been this color or if it changed. It isn't tender or seem to hurt him in any way. I tried to wipe it with a paper towel and water thinking that it may be a poop stain or something, but it wasn't. I've enclosed a picture. Please help me,.

Hi and welcome

It looks normal to me. If the reddish-brown skin had hair, it would match his brown coat while the pink skin would grow white hair.
The foot is not looking swollen or sore in any way.

If you find that you have got memory problems, perhaps you want to take pictures of how your piggy looks when healthy and normal so you can always go and compare for your own peace of mind? Things like skin markings, feet, including soles, nipples and genitalia, lips, ears/bare patches behind the ears, eyes, how normal poos look etc.
We recommend all our new owners to first learn the 'normal' of their piggies, but creating a picture data base can also help as a comparison data base.

It just looks like pigmentation differences to me. The mottling looks like the same red/dark pattern in her fur. Is she walking normally on it?

Maybe take another picture in a few days and see if you can notice a change compared to previous pictures.

Looks quite normal to me, we have a piggy with himalayam ancestry who has very odd coloured feet, black foot pads but pink toes and white toenails! If the skin isnt sore or broken its probably fine but a photo diary is a good idea, our vet always takes photos of any odd skin or fur things to refer back to a few weeks later and double check!

That's a good idea @Wiebke
When I took my 3 to the vets - after having them for 2 weeks - I was like well not sure if that was like that or that looked like when i got them....
