Hey! So I've had my piggies for about 3 months, and ive recently discovered that one of my guinea pig's nail is pointing to the side. Other information is that she is 5 months. From the photo, you can see it is the second one from the right. Should I be worried?
 
Here are the images

We've had loads of piggies with nails pointing in all sorts of odd directions. Orlando's even got two nails on one toe! I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep it nicely trimmed as you would with the other nails 😊
 
I have an almost 5 year old with a very squiggly foot.
Whenever someone who isn’t me sees it, they are very concerned, but as long as it isn’t creating any issues than it is completely normal/fine.

You can learn a bit more about different body quirks in this guide, although it doesn’t include squiggly toes/feet - Guinea pig body quirks - What is normal and what not?
