Question
I have two questions:

1. My guinea pig was eating, then it suddenly started running in and out of her igloo. It was very scary. What does it mean?

2. My guinea pig is losing hair, and it kind of looks like she has bald patches, but i cant really tell because it kind of looks like its just messy hair...HELP!

Answer
Hi Meg

I think the two things are probably linked. I suspect your pig was eating and whatever is causing the hairloss (mites probably) caused her to jump so she started to run around.

Take your pig to the vet and if she does have mites then she will just need a course of ivermectin injections.
