hi guys got guinea pig on Wednesday and there back feet are red and looks sore
Many thanks
 
Bumblefoot is where the are sore, open wounds. Red feet may be for a variety of reasons but not necessarily bumblefoot. You are welcome to post a picture of the feet but only a hands on vet check can give you a diagnosis of any issue.
 
Please also be aware that piggies get feet when they are a bit hot and shedding heat. In this case, pink ears may also look red because guinea pigs regulate their body temperature via the blood flow through their skin; especially the ears but you can also notice that in other extremities.
 
Thank you I am going to take them vets tomorrow cause all three has it I would take picture but tablet won't take them atm
