Guinea Pig has different sized eyes

Question
Last night we bought our two boys each a Guinea Pig (3 month old females) and I realized that one of them has different sized eyes. The right eye looks normal compared to the other piggie but the left eye looks smaller with what I assume is more "eye skin" around it. First time owners and not sure if this is normal. Please let me know because my boys are already completely in love with them and I am hoping this is not a cause for concern. Thank you in advance for your response!

Hello Lauren!
First time owners eh? Thats great! Welcome to the guinea lovers club! ;)
This is normal. My left foot is larger than my right, your guinea pigs left eye is smaller than the right! I have put in a link for you (just in case) to a great site that I suggest bookmarking into your favorites. If you ever have any other questions, I am only an e-mail away!
