Hi Susi,
it sounds like that CP has callous on his frontfeet. Some guinea pigs are 
prone to it, I read somewhere. 
Anyway, Poly has them on both frontfeet as well. I cut hers with nail 
clippers. It is a little difficult to do that because if I cut to far it would hurt 
her, and leaving them too long is not supposed to be good either, because it 
could catch on something and then rip----Autsch!!!
I definitely will try your idea next time to soak them in water first. But as 
far as I know, the only and best thing to do is to clip them.

greetings,
Marion
