can i use dog nail clippers to cut my guinea pigs nails there over grown. Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Male | unneutered | 1lb

Yes, however, it will require extreme caution. The bigger size of the dog nail clippers will make it harder to judge where the cut is occurring. Human toenail or fingernail clippers can be really useful in these little guys. I hope that helps you! Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
