Hi to forum
we bought two female guinea pigs 4 weeks ago today. 2 weeks ago the smaller of the 2 seemed to be dragging a foot and wasn't running round the cage. We wondered if she had damaged it racing in and out of their house. We nursed her for a few days and although she is eating and drinking just fine she still seems a little small compared to the other and still drags her feet (a bit of a rabbit jumping motion). The other larger active one has suddenly developed the same problem. Both are drinking - theres not as much poo in the cage though. Guinea pig food is vitamin enriched. They are not keen on fruit or veg put in the cage (ones that are safe for GP's).
Any ideas before I ring the vet ?
Thanks
