An overgrown guinea pig nail is long and normally curled. If the nail isn't
clipped, then the curled nail can begin to grow underneath the guinea pig's paw
and cause pain. A guinea pig's claws should be clipped once a month.

Do guinea pigs get swollen toes?
Your guinea pig may have swollen toes due to the bottom of the cage, or the bedding. The most common cause is from the bottom of the cage.

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).
