What Is In My Female Guinea Pig Feet And What Is That Smell?

[Dan Angelis]

I have been noticing that my female feet have like irritation Or something but I thought that was going to go away but it never did I have always seen that sense the day I adopted her also my parents are saying that she is leaving some strong smell but I can't smell it and my male isn't doing that what is it? Also sorry for the bad picture she wouldn't stop moving

Her feet look a tiny bit red but nothing to worry about. Some people would use specialist cream from Gorgeous Guineas on it, but my vet recommended that I leave their feet alone unless they have a medical issue with them.

It's usually caused by walking or laying on wet bedding, so the wee is on her feet. The area that she sleeps in needs to be cleaned more regularly, I do a spot clean twice daily and change the square of fleece under my pigs house every couple of days.

If that doesn't help then it might be worth fully cleaning the cage a bit more often.
