Blind piggie?

21 14:07:27

Question
Not only does he run into the doors when he's running around  but my boar's eyes seem hollow. They are black all round but i can see right through the middle (it looks like a window with gray clouds)...I know their eyesight is very poor but I'm just curious if my piggy is blind. His "girl" just gave birth and I was thinking maybe one of his daughters might also be blind if he is...

Thanks again

Answer
Guinea pigs are very clumsy and often run into things!

It is possible that he could be blind, but this will be difficult to determine. If he is, his daughters could possibly have inherited the condition.

Sorry but I don't really know much about guinea pigs' eyes so I suggest you ask someone else.

If you have any other questions ... just ask!
