Hello! However this is not my first set of guinea pigs, this is my first rescue set! Long story short I've recently rescued 3 boars from a very neglectful home.

So we got 2 female piggies from a colleague of mine and they had never cut their nails in the year of having them! Its gotten to the point we don't know what to do because the nails have fused together and we don't want to hurt our little princesses.. Should we risk cutting them ourselves or...

So up until now I've taken my pigs to the vet to trim their nails but I want to do it myself now, party because it's so expensive and the vets is a 30 min drive away. Only think is I'm not sure how to hold them while I do it, plus my two are very wriggly so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to...

This summer I have started to tame my very wriggly pig who would never even let me pick him up before. I have taken him to the vet every few months for nail clipping, but the last time was fairly stressful as the nurse cut the quick. His nails are pretty long and they tend to grow curled over...
