Should you be able to see guinea pigs whites?

You should be able to see a guinea pig's whites, also known as the sclera, when they look directly at you.

Here's why:

* Eye Health: A healthy guinea pig's eyes should be clear and bright, with visible whites.

* Communication: Guinea pigs use their eyes to communicate, and showing their whites can be a sign of alertness, curiosity, or even fear.

* Normal Anatomy: The sclera is the white part of the eye and is a normal part of their anatomy.

However, if you notice a change in the color or appearance of the whites, such as redness, cloudiness, or excessive discharge, it could be a sign of an eye infection or other health issue. It's important to contact a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
