A year ago my parents bought me two guinea pigs Pudge And Fudge. When I bought them I noticed some little bald spots on their rear but thought nothing of it. A year later and they still have them. Pudge's stayed the same but Fudge's got worse and still is. I am so scared I want the best for my guinea pigs. Here is a picture of Fudge sorry its a weird picture but idk what else to do please help me!  |

The picture seems to have been deleted. Have you taken them to a vet (one who specializes in guinea pigs - exotic vet- if you can find one)? I've heard that mites can sometimes cause loss of hair. Sometimes they excessively "groom" eachother and take the hair out. Since it's getting worse, I would say a trip to the vet might be a good idea.
Good luck! Keep us posted!

Is the bald spot kind of greasy/gunky? What you might have found is the scent/grease gland. These can excrete a waxy residue which can matt up the hair. Here is a link on how to clean it CLICK! |
