white substance

[skittles_780]

i took my guinea pigs out the cage when i got back home, and they were clean, nothing on their fur or anything, i put them back in the cage just a few minutes ago so i can go to the bathroom and when i'm done i let them back out the cage and i see that there is this white stuff on the back of my guinea's fur. This is not the first time i've seen this and when i have to get it out it's difficult because it's stuck on his fur. I'm wondering if this possibly comes from the other male guinea pig and if so what is it and why does this occur. someone please help

It's impossible to say for sure without seeing it in person, but my best guess would be boar "glue." This guide can give you more information and potentially help you decide if that's what you're seeing. If you have concerns, see your vet.

Yes I agree - without seeing it we can’t know but if you have a boar, then boar glue would also be my guess. It’s dried semen and it sets like, well, glue! It’s entirely normal so don’t worry. You can either cut it out of the hair if possible or just leave it until it falls off on its own.
