This could be afew things. Do you bed your guineapig on hay? If so it could be mites. This is easily treated, you can buy treatment from most pet shops, but its best to take him/her to your vets, as they may have a stronger treatment that is more likely to cure the problem in one shot. Does your guineapig live wth another? It could be that the other guineapig is acting as the dominant one, and is pulling out your other guineapigs coat. Guinea pigs in season also sometimes do this to their companion, even to themselfs (obveously only if your guinea pig is female). It could also be that your guineapig is stressed for some reason, or even bored. Its bets to consult vet, and explain your situation and how your pet is kept, they will be able to give a much more accurate diognosis =) Hope this helps =)
