i’ve had this guinea pig for about 3 weeks now, and he’s been living with my other guinea pig for around a week. i just noticed hair loss/crustiness around his eye today. he doesn’t seem super itchy and is acting/eating normal otherwise.

i’m obviously probably going to take him to the vet just to be safe, but i wanted to get opinions in the meantime from people who’ve dealt with this before. does this look more like ringworm, mites, another type of infection, or could it just be irritation/scratching from hay or the other guinea pig?

i’m stressing because i only recently introduced them and i’m worried about it spreading if it’s something contagious 😭

i bought a guinea two days ago and i’m looking forward to get her a friend! i was told he’s a girl and the first day i thought i saw that typical Y shape for a female but right now im not so sure??? 😭 any expert opinions would be so appreciated i don’t wanna end up with babies! here’s what we’re looking like down there
