yes, and you have to regularly trim them, if they have a pen that they run in daily, they would be waring them down, but if they are mainly in there hutches, there claws would grow and curve round and dig in to there paws, but there is a way around this, all you need is nail clippers and a steady hand, and you clip them back, its simple, just watch out for the pink lines in the nails that are veins, clip on them and you would hurt them and they would be bleeding just hold them still (not on there back or you end up with frightened guinea pigs) hold out their legs, one at a time, just far enough to clip their nails, ant cut on the very ends, do this about once a month.

Why can't dogs retract their claws?
Dogs main use of their claws is for traction when running, so there would be a disadvantage to them in having retractable claws. When compared with cats, dogs generally use their very strong jaws and teeth as the main tool, and do not use their claws or paws to grab hold of prey. Dogs usually hunt as packs, so they can surround their prey, rather than one animal having to hold the prey still while it is killed. Cheetahs do not retract their claws, but their speed is very important for catching prey, so the extra traction gained is at the sacrifice of very sharp holding claws.
