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!
