White Crust stuck on guinea pigs bum

[MagicandSpice]

My guinea pig has a white, crusted thing stuck on her bum? Not sure what this could be but it’s too hard to pick off, I’ll be soaking her in the bath so hopefully it’ll wash off, anyone know what this could be? Or any advice?

Does she live with a boar, if so, it could be boar glue (seaman)

No she lives on her own

I's hard to tell from the picture but it looks like it could be dried urine crystals?
I would avoid soaking her in a bath as this shouldn't be necessary and could be very drying for her skin.
If it is crystals they should easily wipe off with a damp flannel.
Keep a close eye on her and weigh her regulary as it could also indicate a urinary issue which would need to be checked by a vet.

I would soak a cotton wool ball in some luke warm water and see if this will gently wipe away. Don’t pull, pick or scrub. Just gently wipe it you could cause sanded to get sensitive skin. If it won’t come away easily then please take her straight away to see a vet.
Even if it does come away with minimal wiping it may be a good idea to be getting her vet checked in any event in case she’s building up bladder sludge or crystals that may cause future problems.
