I woke up this morning to find one of my guinea pig (coconut) not really moving, my other guinea pig(hoss) was licking him. I had a feeling something was wrong so I picked coconut up and his nail is twisted sideways and the pink part is bleeding.
 
If you have some cornflour dip his foot or toe in it. Hopefully the bleeding will stop. Could he have caught his nail on something? And how long are their nails?

The blood is dry up now, he must've gotten his toe stuck, he was fine when I went to sleep last night. His nails aren't long, they are just cut past the pink part
 
Does the nail look like it's ripped away from the bed?
 
I can't say. I would have it checked by the vet just to be sure.
