Looks like a foot spur to me Guinea Lynx :: Guinea Pig Feet and Foot Problems You can leave them safely alone. piggies often get them as they get older

My guinea pigs are only a year old though so it can’t be their age

Younger Guineas can get them too, don’t worry

Both my piggies developed foot spurs at less than a year old. They can be safely left alone unless they grow too big in which case they can be trimmed. Just don’t trim too far to the live skin

it looks like a simple foot spur to me, too. First time I found one I was shocked. Now I just monitor them.
