you simply hold each leg upward with you special turtle clippers in hand. You then cut each nail and, you must make sure not to cut too short. If the nails bleed from short cutting, put turtle in water!

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!


How short should I cut my dogs nails?

You should clip your dogs nails only a little bit at a time. There is something called a "quick" in dog's nails. If you cut into the quick then the nail will start to bleed and it will have hurt the dog, to a point to that they dog won't let you clip their nails anymore. If you clip the nails a little bit say once a week, the quick will start to recede, making it safer to clip your dogs nails without hurting them.
