Hey! It’s me again. I go back to my room to find Mack with a bloody nose! It must’ve happened good time ago as it seems to be drying. Just a little cut, but I see a bit of blood IN his nose. Is there something I should do? I’m pretty sure Mack and Benny got in a fight when I wasn’t there. When I got back they were very nice to each other, so bond doesn’t seem to be ruined- yet. I’ll monitor them and separate if I think I need to. But anything I should do about the bloody nose? Here’s a pic. Tell me you need a better one

Looks like an accidental kick or he possibly scratched himself?

I have seen my boys startle each other and jump/popcorn and the other pig has gotten in the way.

How long are his nails?

is a bloody nose guinea pig bad? its starting to dry up? do i bring him to the vet? brush it off?
 
If it was bleeding from a cut, you can see the cut and it isn’t a bad cut, then it should be ok.
If you cannot see a cut and his nose continues to bleed then you will need to see a vet.
Always see a vet if you are concerned though

I'm sorry to hear they have had a fallen out
