Has My Guinea Pig Got Ringworm ?

Personally I would get it checked out, if you contact pets at home they should cover the vet visit as it is still within 2 weeks of buying them. Id suggest a good check over of everything else while you're there seeing as P@H will be getting the bill, our 2 from there had ringworm but also had earmites at the time of buying them that wasnt picked up in store. They also had some more serious health issues but it took a few months for them to come to light.
But yeah, a good check over by a vet wont do any harm! Its not unheard of for ringworm to start on the legs, just less common I think. Brambles started inside her ear but she did also have a little bit on one foot.
