Is This A Problem?

[Kaylee C]

Hi all. I'm a first time guinea owner. Today while cleaning my baby Turk's cage I noticed these two spots near his hind legs on his belly. I have no clue what they could be. Can anyone tell me if it's normal? Or should I call a vet?

They are his nipples! Boars have 2 just like sows

Oh my goodness! Thank you! I had no clue. I was worried for my little guy!

You are not the first person to have been worried by finding them!

Boars have nipples, too - and a belly button, which is more noticeable in some piggies than others.
