Hi! I'm a Petsmart employee and I just adopted a guinea pig from the store who has some kind of genetic defunct. She has no toes on her back legs! She's super peppy and active and gets around fine. This is my first time living with a guinea pig but I've been working with them for years. I've been trying to find information on what could cause this in the womb, as well as what possible health effects this may have on her long term (bumblefoot, arthritis, etc.), but I haven't found anything. Any thoughts? I'm sure this has happened before.

Aw, poor little lady! I'm not sure what would cause this, to be honest, but she's very lucky to have found someone who'll look after her and love her despite her differences. I'm glad to hear she's getting on well.
