dry feet

[weecheenranoksmum]

morning all,
Shodu has had paralysis, which i have sorted out no probs, but i have noticed her feet are quite dry... is this normal for a guinea living on woodshavings?
she does need a bath, shes never had one before, so i dont know if that has anything to do with it?
do i need to put anything on it, will it develop into anything? its not red or sore, just dry patches

I would rub some moisturising cream into her feet.

I use Aloevera cream

I have just noticed onf of our piggies has dry feet, a bit of hard skin and some of the dryness is flaking off.

I will try Aloe Vera as you have previously suggested. How often should I put it on?

Many Thanks

I guess you could do it daily until you start to see an improvement. I'm sure that would be okay.
