Eyes/Non-crusty Partially Blind?

BestGuineaPigs · Dec 24, 2013

My guinea pig, Buddy has red eyes, and when we feed him, we have to put his food close to his face for him to see it or he follows our other boy Ace to get food. When we hold him, he has to sniff everything and sometimes he slips off my pants. However, when he goes to his pigloo, he's fine. Is this just how some guinea pigs are, because my other three are fine.

I have two red eyed girls and I find they also have to have food put right up to their face to realise it's there. They also have no trouble getting in and out of hideys, going through tunnels, etc. I think it might be a red-eyed specific thing (possibly) but I'm not sure. As long as he isn't injuring himself though, I wouldn't worry

Red eyes see just as well as dark eyes in guinea pigs.

if your pig is having vision problems it's not because the eyes are red.

I wouldn't say it's a vision problem per say, they just tend to be a little unsure of where the veggies are when I hand feed them.
