Hole in my Skinny Pig's Ear

[Skinnypigs]

Hello! So a little before Christmas I got two Skinny Pigs named Cocoa and Bean. We got them both from the same store and we believe they must be from the same litter. They haven't had any issues fighting (other than Bean trying to sniff Cocoa and Cocoa not liking it). They have a big cage with fleece bedding. Their cage is in my bedroom and I was searching for more skinny pig books to help my skinny pigs have a really good life. While I was searching the internet I heard a really high-pitched squeak come from the cage, so I got up and looked to see what was going on. I then noticed a hole in Bean's ear. I don't remember it being there but that doesn't mean it wasn't there before.

As you can see it is almost a perfect circle. I can't remember if she had it before or not. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and it doesn't bother her when I touch it. Does anyone know what it is? I don't know if I should take her to the vet or not and I want her to be okay.

Hole in Biscuit's ear :-(


By the looks of that thread its a scab thats left a hole. Guinea pigs ears are very thin

It doesn’t look like a fresh wound, so I would say if it isn’t red or swollen or bleeding it’s ok. My Olaf got his ear ripped in half by my other boar Kristoff, it healed very well on its own luckily. Their ears are so delicate!
