yep. Usually once or twice a month or so. If you don't, their nails become either to long or they curl under and then the guinea pig wont be able to walk well, and it will be EXTREMELY painful. you can either go to a vet, or learn how to do it from a pro. I do my own guinea-pig's nails. it can be very difficult at times, especially if they have black nails. You will need to buy a special light to see where the blood line is if you want to clip those nails. Hope i helped!
To clip a guinea pig's nails, gently hold the guinea pig in your lap and use small animal nail clippers to trim the tips of the nails, being careful not to cut into the quick (the pink part inside the nail). If you're unsure, it's best to have a veterinarian show you how to do it properly. Reward your guinea pig with treats and praise to make the experience more positive.

Guinea pigs' teeth typically do not need to be clipped unless they are overgrown. It is important to provide them with the proper diet and accessories to help wear down their teeth naturally. However, if you notice overgrowth, consult a veterinarian for advice on how to safely trim their teeth.
Well if your not sure get a vet or someone you know to help you if it's possible. Mice nails shouldn't grow that long.
NOOO, if your guinea Pigs toenails are bleeding when you cut them DON'T cut it as short as you are at the moment. You should not clip the pinkish part of the nail. OR you can take a nail filer for human nails and just scratch off a bit of nail with it.
a nail clipper
Yes. If you do not clip the nails, they will grow too long and eventually break on something, and injure the guinea pig.
about every month or every other month.
You hold it tight and clip them carefully. If you cut the nail too far in it will hurt her. Clip the end of the nail.
Yes...if they r very careful. u should go over basic info with the child such as to b careful do not hurt the guinea pig or themselves, and such. if u r still a little anxious about it, u mine as well have a vet or groomer clip the guinea pigs nails. Hope this helps!

You can do 1 of 2 things : You can take it to the vet and have them clip it. It might be better to have them show you the first time so you can do it yourself later. The other thing is that you can clip it yourself with nail clippers purchased in a grooming kit at the pet store.
Don't clip your nails

Yes, and its important. Use baby size clippers. Clipping their names will prevent the piggie from getting curled nails which can be snagged or become infected.
c You could give it something to scratch on or believe it or not, even resort to a cat scratching post. It will stop them from ruining your furniture AND help their nails stay short +they'llhave something fun to do. You could also do nail filerthing'son them or just get thescissors out and give them a clip. But be careful if your dog is a fidget.
You can create a simple circuit switch out of a paper clip, two nails, and a battery. Use the paper clip as a bridge to connect the two nails and complete the circuit. When the paper clip touches both nails, the circuit is closed, allowing the electricity to flow.
