Have any of you never trimmed your guinea pigs nails, and the guinea pig was fine?

Thanks! Any more tips on why I should do it is fine too.Have any of you never trimmed your guinea pigs nails, and the guinea pig was fine?
Yes, the piggie was fine.





Just be careful about clipping too short and cutting into the quick. Make sure you have some corn starch on hand, just in case you do cause bleeding. You just put some powder on the nail, and apply a little pressure until the bleeding stops.





If you're nervous, any vet should be able to do this for you.Have any of you never trimmed your guinea pigs nails, and the guinea pig was fine?
My gran didn't cut her guinea pigs nails for a year once, and they curved into the poor guinea pigs foot and had to be removed by a vet.. it was very infected.


Guinea pigs HAVE to have them cut every month, all you do is get some nail clippers and cut the tip off, make sure the vein isn't cut though.
Of course. The guinea pig will squirm, but it doesn't hurt them unless you clip to far into the nail. If you don't feel comfortable clipping them yourself, a vet will do it for a flat price per guinea pig.
a guinea pigs nails must be trimmed at least once a month give or take. If they are not trimmed they will grow out of control and make it hard for them to walk, and can also grow into their feet causing infection.
I have a dog and I know their nails are very sensitive and I usually take him to a professional!!
yea lol but we gave our guinea pigs away the other day ):


oh and yes be careful of cutting it too short. it will cause the nailsto bleed, ouch!
