Guinea pigs white fluid on eyes

Question
I know that guinea pig's white fluid on their eyes is for cleaning themselves(grooming), But when i looked at my guinea  pig, she doesn't clean or wipe it with her legs/arms.

Thanks,
Kristina

Answer
Hi Kristina

It should only be a very small amount of fluid so if its more than a drop or two let me know.

It may just be that she cleans herself when you arent looking. Piggies tend to do that as they dont want to take their eyes off you as they are prey animals. If you have further concerns though, please let me know.
