You can trim it down as far as you can before you get into the quick. Then file it further to smooth it out. If it is split into the quick and is bleeding, wrap the whole foot in a bandage to stop the bleeding.

Is it true that if you don't cut your guinea pigs nail they will bleed to death?
no that isn't true. however you shouldn't let them get too long. Bleeding from the nail will occur if when you cut the nail you cut it too short, in most guinea pigs the nail colour changes, it starts off a pinky red colour and then goes to a white/clear colour. Never cut past/onto the pinky red colour. Laura (owner of 3 guinea pigs).
