Piggie ''juice'' Sticked It On His Belly

[TheGuineaPigWay]

Hi everybody,

I just found that my piggie got a bit of his own ''juice'' sticked it on his belly. I tried warm water but it didn't work.

Any suggestions? Thank you very much!

If it doesn't come off with warm water you can leave it and he'll get it off himself.

The only other option is cutting it off but it's very close to the skin so I never chance cutting them by accident.

Hello and Welcome to the Forum.


If it isn't bothering him in any way then i is fine to leave it.
He will get it off eventually.

Now you know why they call it "boar glue", it's notoriously hard to get off the fur unless it's far away enough from the skin to be cut out. It will come off by itself eventually.

If the aptly named "boar glue" is sticking too close to the skin, you have to wait until comes off on its own. Otherwise, the best way is to cut it gently off with scissors where you can do so safely and are not in danger of injuring your piggy if it suddenly squirms.
