Here's why:
* Albino guinea pigs have light-colored fur and pink eyes, but this is their natural coloration.
* Red eyes in guinea pigs usually indicate an issue, such as:
* Conjunctivitis: This is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, allergies, or irritants.
* Other eye conditions: Red eyes can also be a sign of other eye problems, like glaucoma or uveitis.
If you notice your guinea pig has red or pink eyes, it's important to consult a veterinarian immediately. They can diagnose the cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Remember, healthy guinea pigs should have clear, bright eyes. If you see any changes, it's best to get professional help.
