Most guinea pigs have four toes on each front foot and three toes on each hind foot. If your guinea pig has more, he has a condition known as polydactyly. Depending on the development of these toes, his polydactyly may be harmless.
Presentation
Polydactyly can take a variety of forms. Most commonly it presents as an extra fourth toe on each hind foot, although extra toes on the front feet and multiple sets of extra toes are possible as well. These extra digits may be functional, complete with nerves and muscles, or they may be vestigial, useless to the guinea pig and only connected by a thin flap of skin. In either case, the claws usually grow at the same rate as those on other toes, and require the same level of care when you're trimming.
