Your guinea pig may have swollen toes due to the bottom of the cage, or the bedding. The most common cause is from the bottom of the cage. If you have a wire bottom on your cage, this may cause the inflamation. I suggest finding another cage or providing something solid that your guinea pig may rest its paws on!
