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.
You should cut your guinea pig's nails when you notice them getting too long or curling. Overgrown nails can cause discomfort and potential injury to your guinea pig. Regular nail checks and trims are recommended to keep their nails at a healthy length.
If a guinea pig's nail falls off, you should gently clean the area with a mild antiseptic solution and apply some styptic powder to stop any bleeding. Keep an eye on the nail bed for signs of infection and monitor your guinea pig's behavior for any signs of discomfort. If you're concerned, consult a veterinarian for further guidance.
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. If you have a wire bottom on your cage, this may cause the inflamation. I suggest finding another cage or providing something solid that your guinea pig may rest its paws on!
If your hamster's claws are overgrown, you can trim them carefully using pet nail clippers or seek help from a veterinarian or professional groomer experienced with small animals. Avoid cutting the quick, the pinkish area within the nail that contains nerves and blood vessels, as this can be painful and cause bleeding. Regularly provide a sand-covered surface in the cage for your hamster to naturally wear down its claws.
Yes they do. If not the nails will grow long and painfully twisted. In most cases it will also impair the way a piggie walks. Please cut your piggies' nails. also if you don't cut the nails the would curl and if he/she walked the nail would snatch off and fall with drips of blood and squeels. help your guinea pig by cutting its toenail you can just use a human nail cutter too.

It's best to ask a veterinarian about the use of iodine on a guinea pig. However, cornstarch or styptic powder can be applied to a guinea pig's injured nail.

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).
because spirit absorbs the particals of nail polish and the surface of the nails look like pearl
