I just recently noticed a bald spot on my guinea pigs hand. It is around almost a centimeter wide. Any idea what this could be?

Bald spot on hand

Hi
Guinea pigs use their paws to clean themselves by spreading mildly antibiotic saliva over their coats several times a day. Over time this causes mechanical abrasion. These bald spots are usually on the sides of the ankles/shins on both feet and not on top of just one paw.
Unfortunately, without a picture or other access to your piggy we cannot tell you whether this is the case with your piggy or not. You can best upload any - preferably clear - pictures via the Attach files under your post when you write it.
