Anyone tried a nail grinder for guinea pigs… does it work?

I have 6 guinea pigs, and 4 of them have black nails. For the past 4 years, I’ve been using a small Kaytee nail clipper, which works okay, but cutting their nails is always stressful. No matter how much light I use, I just can’t see the quick properly.

I’ve seen some people recommend quiet nail grinders for guinea pigs to make it less stressful. Does anyone have a good nail grinder they can recommend?

Your guinea pigs sound like they’re living the good life! Maybe try looking for a nail grinder with a quiet motor—it might make the whole process smoother and less stressful for them.

Thanks so much for the suggestion! Do you have any specific grinders in mind? Appreciate the help!
