Yes. If you do not clip the nails, they will grow too long and eventually break on something, and injure the guinea pig.
A guinea pig does not bite it owns hands. Like other animals it cleans itself. You can see this in healthy guinea pigs. Young guinea pigs, who has been taken from their mother too soon, does not always learn how to clean themselves. Overweight guinea pigs can have a problem doing it, as well as those with very long nails. Some guinea pigs also keep their nails short white cleansing, by biting their nails.
You should cut your guinea pigs nails once every month.
I believe you are supposed to cut a guinea pigs nails once a year.
a nail clipper
you take it to the vets. when its nails are long
Yes so make sure your guinea pigs get their nails clipped regularly, and when the guinea pig's nails start to curve put the run on concrete so they can scratch away and ware their nails down. Bent nails can be painful so keep an eye out as it makes it easier for guinea pigs to dig out of the run.
No! Have you seen what they do to guinea pigs? They keep them in such small GLASS CAGES! that proves PETCO cannot do anything good for your guinea pig. Not to be harsh, but you need to buy nail clippers from petco and cut them yourself. And NEVER, EVER let PETCO cut your guinea pigs nails.
yes! They will have somewhat a very hard time walking and cause a lot of pain, so if this is what your guinea pig has, take it to the vet so they can trim its nails!
On average about once A month.
Just like humans, guinea pigs vary in size :)
guinea pigs live 4 to 7 years.
