Question
Can I cut my guinea pig's nails

Answer
Yes, you may.  Look at the nail and cut just past the pink (don't cut the pink part of he'll bleed).  If you accidently make him bleed, its no big deal.  Just hold your finger on it and it will stop eventually.  If his toes are dark, just cut a bit at a time until you know where to stop.
