We have 8 week old babies, at what point should we look at trimming their nails? I dread to think how we will do this...

When Do Guinea Piggies Need Their Nails Cut ?

Baby nails don't need clipping, but you can make it easier when the time comes by handling their feet regularly during a cuddle, so they get used to it. Don't aim at doing all nails in one go at first; that will come with practice. It can also help if the piggy is distracted with a bowlful of favourites.
It can differ quite a lot when baby nails start growing, generally sometime between 4-10 months.
Phew.. I don't need to worry just yet then ! I try to give them a good going over when i hold them, so hopefully they get used to being checked over.
