Dirty Nose

[MapleLeaf25]

My guinea pig has recently got a bit of a dirty nose. It's not round her nostrils I think she's just a bit of a messy eater cause it ends up on her chin and everything. Does anyone have any suggestions what I should use to clean it?

Does her friend not clean her up? If not id try a baby wipe

I've noticed them licking each other bit there's still a little bit there. Thanks

Hi, "MapleLeaf25", what kind of dirt is it? Poop? Food? Mud? Can you post a photo? Why not just wipe it with a soft serviette and warm water, then pat dry?
Thanks,
Alexis

I think it's poop or food. I'll post a photo when I'm cleaning them out later

Hi, "MapleLeaf25", would your consider brushing their coat, most piggies really like that, it's a way to enjoy bonding time with piggy

I sometimes try a bit of damp kitchen roll for Eddies face if hes made a mess, but hes a bugger and hides his face from me if I try

Hi, Piggly, my piggy would hide his front paws from me when I was trying to file his nails down, he would tuck them under his body and give me that look.

I've started brushing them now. One of my girls loves chin rubs
