I noticed one of my babies has a scab on her neck, i have checked it since i found it and it seems to be the same. I managed to look through her hair and it is a round looking dry bit of skin, not really bloody like a scab would be. I can't really find any info on guinealynx etc with enough pictures to try and see what it is. She has no fur missing and it doesn't bother her when i poke it around, it is very small too. None of the other girls have anything, her sister did have a fungal infection but that seems to have cleared up, and it was totally different to this.
anyone seen anything similar to this? I weighed her today, she is eating and drinking and peeing and pooping, she weighs about 350g and she is 2 months old tonight, her and sister are both growing well and are feeling heavy!
 
It could be just from an accidental scratch.

Please keep an eye on it over the next few days in case there is hair loss around it; in this case it should be seen by a vet. Fungal can start with a small scab.

But I am glad that your little girls are coming on fine otherwise and are putting on a god amount of weight each week. That is what you want to see.
 
Thank you for your help. I have been looking at it for about 4 days now and it seems to be the same, i hope it goes soon!
