Hi.
I have just been clipping my guineapigs nails, and I have noticed that one of my boars Lucas has a flap of dry skin growing around his foot. It isn`t a pice of poop that has got stuck to the bottom of his foot.
Has anyone else experienced this with their guineas, and what should I do about it ?

It ok, I have found out the problem. It is a foot spur. I will clip it off.

When I first got Thunder, It thought one of his nails was coming off so I went to the vet (not for that reason though) and he's like oh, that's nothing and barely put any force on him and just pulled it off. and it didn't hurt the pig one bit! I Was like, did you just pull his nail off? lol. It was just a piece of calis.
