Yes, but you run the risk of cutting the cuticle and injuring the little rat. It is best to give them a gritty surface to claw and file the nails down. If your little rat is calm enough, you may be able to file them directly.

∙ 11y agoNo, do not file a guinea pig's teeth with a nail file. The best solution to wear out a guinea pig's teeth from getting too long is to provide your guinea pig with a kind of chew toy, specially made for guinea pigs.
Alternatively, you can provide your Guinea Pigs with food they naturally encounter (tough grass and small branches of wood) while limiting their supply of soft foods such as fruit and salads. The animals are evolved to cope naturally without filing their teeth or specially made supplies from a pet store, and will be fine in captivity so long as they are fed a close to natural diet.

What will happen if you do not trim overgrown guinea pig teeth?
Your not supposed to trim their teeth! All guinea pigs and other rodents, should be provided with somthing to chew on. In the wild, they gnaw on wood, and eat hard foods to wear their teeth down naturally. In captivity, people forget that these animals still need to do what they do naturally. Buy a chew log from your local pet store. DO NOT ATTEMPT to file your own guinea pigs teeth. If you are THAT concerned, schedule an appointment with a local vet that specializes in exotic pets. Guinea pigs are considered to be exotic.
