I have just inherited Rory the guinea Pig from my daughter. I have learned that he will need to have his nails clipped once a month but I will not be able to do this. Does anyone know where I could take Rory to get his nails clipped in North Tyneside?
 
@Sheilab A nurse at any vet practice can do it for you. You could ask them to show you how to do it if you feel confident enough in trying it yourself .

Hi and welcome!

Please enquire at your local vet practises; most have nurses that are willing to do it for you against a small fee.
Here is our recommended vets locator: Recommended Guinea Pig Vets

Is Rory a single pig?

You may also find our new owners helpful guides collection very interesting as we cover a wide range of topics we get the most questions an concerns of new owners about. They are specifically written for owners without previous experience and are as practical and precise as we could make them: Getting Started - New Owners' Most Helpful Guides
 
Most vets will do it for a price, in our area some pet supply stores have monthly nail clinics where you can bring all manner of pets who are difficult to cut nails on.
 
I take mine to the vet nurse about every 8 weeks.
She charges me £5 per piggy and they also get weighed and a quick check over.
