Eyes sticking out

[luckyandsammy]

Cinnamon is about 10 weeks old. Since I got him, his eyes have been sticking out a little bit. I thought it just looks like that because he’s quite small but he has grown a bit and they are still sticking out. Is this normal?

I do have an older guinea pig with eyes that stick out a bit but he has pea eye, I’ve never seen this in a younger guinea pig?

He looks perfect to me it’s just the way his eyes are. I’ve had some piggies in the past who’s eyes have stuck out more than others x

Hi

Piggies with a rather pronounced narrow and pointy face often have eyes that protrude more. Nothing wrong with it; it is just the way they are.

My Rhosyn 'Rose' was another one like that.
(And yes, she did have an official vet check but he couldn't find anything wrong with her eyes or mouth/teeth)
