My guinea pig has a bit of blue on her fur and I'm a bit worried if it could be something bad! Though I think it might just be from her toys...
 
Can you send a photo of your guinea pig's fur? Do you use fleece for your guinea pig? If so, is the fleece blue? Is there anything near your guinea pigs cage or anything that your guinea pig was near that was blue? I wouldn't be too worried, as I'm assuming it isn't blood, urine, or poop and, likely, just something he rubbed himself on.

Hi
Please check her surroundings for items in that colour and remove them asap as not suitable.

Here are lots of ideas for safe and suitable enrichment: Enrichment Ideas for Guinea Pigs
 
if bits of it are coming off, then definitely remove the toy. Piggies don’t need commercial toys in any event.
A big pile of hay, cardboard boxes filled with hay and their veggies hidden in piles of hay are great enrichment and fun for piggies.
