my guinea pig
hey.
i just got two 9-week-old guinea pigs a couple days ago. the guy at the pet store said you gotta cut their little nails, and we bought a clipper and all that jazz... but i'm REALLY scared my baby is gonna move and then i'm gonna make her bleed! her claws are pretty long now, but i learned that you just have to cut the white part, the very end, and NOT the red vessels. the clipper also has a lock which prevents you from cutting beyond like a certain measurement. should i take them to the vet for the first time or should i just give it a shot and hope nothing goes wrong?
<3 thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
I'd say to have an adult or someone help you. I think if you do it alone you might be too nervous and something could happen.
So my best advice to you would be to call a friend or a family member that could help you. And if help from someone isn't available, then it'll probably be ok to do it yourself. Besides, if you don't learn to do it yourself, you'll never be able to just clip their nails when they need it.
