My Guinea pig has a scratch on her back

Monday, July 14th, 2014

I just got my guinea pig out from her pen to the garage to stroke her. I stroked her and when I got to the center of her back she would jump up when I look at it she had a scratch and it was bleeding and there are short hairs around the scratch. I don’t know what to do. Please help! Should I bath her, I was thinking lice caused the scratch or what could it be?

Squeeking Guinea Pig

Hey everyone, I just got two guinea pigs (one for my brother and one for myself) and my brothers always squeaks when you put her down or just when she is in her cage. I do understand guinea pigs squeak but she tends to do it a lot. For example, I put her in the cage and she was squeaking a lot. Why?
