Hi! Im just gonna dive into the problem.
I got a baby guinea pig from my teacher on tuesday. Hes five months old, ive named him chestnut. I put him in a cage with my older guinea pig named Moto. Moto is about 1 1/2- 2yrs, but im not entirely sure since i got him from a pet store. Anyway chestnut an moto seem to be doing mostly okay. Still choosing who will be the dominant one but chester is eating. He mostly stays on top of motos igloo while Moto stays in the igloo.
So anyway its only been a day and the top of the igloo is COVERED in skin flakes and a couple hairs. Hes CONSTANTLY scratching. I have two guinea pigs for about 9-10 months so im not an expert but i know this is not normal. My teacher says he was picked on by the other guinea pigs he lived with before so could this just be him healing? He also has a semi big patch of fur missing around the right side of his neck. Anyone else ever have this?
