Have a friend/Family member hold the cat, (I suggest the holder wear think rubber gloves!) while you hold the paw, then clip the nails.

And if this cat is CRAZY, put something solid but something the cat can still breath through, this could possibly calm it.

You may try to buy your cat some treats and spend some time with your cat before clipping its claws. The cat will trust you and if he/she runs away, repeat this process and try clipping the claws one at a time.

Just a little bit at a time less than 1/8 of an inch, if you can see the quik always clip 1/2 in away from in, be very careful, take to the vet first have them clip and show you how to do it.

If you give your hamster enough play euipment and take hit out in a secure area from time to time, its nails should naturaly grind down to size. Personally, I would not cut its nails at all.

You should not clip a cats nails, as they are retractable you may damage the cat. A cat will care for its own nails if you provide it with a scratching post.

How do you clip a guinea pigs nails?

you chew on it with your teeth until it falls off. i no it sounds weird but pro animal caretakers do it or if you have dogs it is just the same way. Get some clippers that you use for yourself (or buy special pet ones) and clip their nails. Just be careful. When you clip your own nails don't you try to clip the white part and avoid the pink? well, same with dogs, guinea pigs, and animals in that nature. so, be careful to not cut the pink or anywhere near that. You have most likely had experience with cutting your nails too short and you know it either hurts or bugs you and it takes awhile to heal. so, be careful.


Are you supposed to clip a guinea pigs nails every year?

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!
