"Don't even think about trimming my nails!" Photo: uberzombie/Flickr
However, if you are comfortable trimming your guinea pig's nails on your own, use a traditional nail clipper or even a Pedi Paws Nail Trimmer.
Remember that guinea pigs are typically nervous creatures that may freak out if you try to cut their nails. If they sense that you're nervous (which most pet owners are in these situations) they may start to squirm around.
If any pet tries to fight you or move away when you're cutting their nails, don't force it. It's difficult to use your best judgment when they get nervous. If you have any hesitation, get it done professionally.
