Answer 2

Guinea pig body info

Body temperature is 99 - 103°F

Looks pretty warm to me. I wouldnt worry to much. If he isnt exibiting sick behavior he is probably ok. Might be that you have never paid that much attention if he was that warm. I did that with my hairless rat. She felt almost burning hot so I rushed her to the vet and left $65 dollars poorer to find out that she was just warm and that she was fine. Im sure your cavy is ok.
