I found this in my guinea pig house

[Lauraarse03]

So I was cleaning my piggies houses and I noticed this little piece of fur sitting on one of their blankets I have three guinea pigs. One of them only has this color, for none of them seem to be scratching none of them have sores or bald spots. Nothing like that but I found this little patch of fur and at the edge of the fur it’s just very very dry white patch. I want to say it’s skin there’s no blood anywhere I checked her all the way up and down and I don’t even see where that piece of her came off of. I’m just nervous cause I don’t where it came from my guinea pigs don’t fight so I don’t think it was bitten off of her. Here’s a picture of it if anybody could maybe let me know

Hi

It could be some matted hair (possibly from the bum area) that has come loose?

That’s what I was thinking also I picked her up an checked everywhere an she’s totally fine no bald spots or scabs or anything it just scared me when I seen it because I’ve never had to deal with any kind of hair loss

As a rule of thumb, any hair loss that should be checked comes with balding areas on the body. The odd loose hairs are not.
