A reason it may show might be because they are very skinny or something is wrong with it. Maybe something happened to its back bone, if you dont hold its rear the back bone and or spine may break and if it was dislocated because of that it may show. if you have anymore questions just ask me because i have a guinea pig of my own and a very large manual and i would be glad to help you with other questions about your guinea pig!
