Comments for How To Check Your Guinea Pigs' Hair

One of my pregnant female guinea pigs has a bald patch under her neck. No blood just skin. Should I buy a different shampoo or something?

@Dwaa - When I first got my guinea pig a few years ago I had the same thing happen. I looked at him and saw a an entire missing patch of hair but with dried blood over it too and realized by it’s positioning that he just had scratched himself when he got a little frightened and tried to squeeze between the ramp and the wall in his cage. Wouldn’t worry too much just take care of the wound and you’re probably fine!

My guinea pig only has one bald spot. His cagemates don't have any either. It has dried blood on it. I am assuming it is an injury. Any ideas?
