Clipping should only be done by a vet. 2 times in a year is plenty if it must be done. Putting wood toys in the cage will stop this from having to be done. The animal will grind down its own teeth on the wooden toys.

How do you clip a guinea pigs nails?

To clip a guinea pig's nails, gently hold the guinea pig in your lap and use small animal nail clippers to trim the tips of the nails, being careful not to cut into the quick (the pink part inside the nail). If you're unsure, it's best to have a veterinarian show you how to do it properly. Reward your guinea pig with treats and praise to make the experience more positive.

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 do you clip guinea pig teeth?

Guinea pigs are rodents and being so, their teeth are continually growing. Because of this fact it is important to provide some type of chewing block for your guinea pig at all times (these can be purchased at pet stores, be careful not to use just any piece of wood from your garden because some types might be poisonous or have pesticide residue on them). If your guinea pig has not been provided adequate means for wearing down their teeth, and they have grown too long, you can carefully file them down with a metal file.

How do you cut guinea pigs hair?

You have to either tip them upside down or just lift their paw so you can see the bottom of their paw, then you have to look really closely for their veins in their nails. Take any type of clipper, although toe nail clippers work best, and cut their nail about a pencil tip distance away from vein or else you will make the guinea pig bleed.


How do you replace speedometer drive gear on a 1981 corvette?

Where the speedometer cable attaches to the transmission, that piece should have a clip holding it in the transmission. The clip should be held in with one 1/4 inch bolt. Take the bolt out and the gear pulls straight out. Check the number of teeth on the new gear they can be different depending on rear end gear ratio.
