Its nail clipping day for my guinea pigs which means I've got to go to the supermarket and buy a bag of baby spinach leaves for then. Also going to clean their cage and let them run around the house if they let me trim all their nails.

This is the cutest.

I used to reward my old puss with a tsp of cream cheese after nail time.

That's so cute! Do you have any pictures of them? My nieces had a pair years ago. I liked watching them do the popcorn dance when they were excited.

You wouldn't believe how high they can jump. Mine can easily jump over their 30cm high wall. But they never try to escape out of their house only jump it when trying to get back in.

Exciting! How often do you need to clip their nails?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

About every 2 weeks
