Can anyone help me with what this might be on my 1 year old Guinea pigs paw, and if I should be worried. Thank you 115792115793
 
It is a foot spur. They are very common in piggies and it's a piece of hard dead skin that grows off the pad. There is no need to take any action with it and it should not interfere with your piggies life. However, if you have one that is sticking out and likely to get caught you may want to trim it back with claw trimmers or ask your vet to do this to prevent it catching and ripping the live skin it's attached to
 
Thank you so much . Glad it's nothing serious x
