Junior Guinea Pig
Can we talk about those really annoying nails that can grow curled under on the front paws?
Why are they like that? Is it genetic, previous neglect or something else? Why only some nails on some piggies, but not all? What's the best way you guys have found to trim them?
It's hard to separate the toes far enough to be able to clip them properly without wrangling an already grumpy piggy into submission. I find my guys haven't got much length on them, if they were growing straight I'd probably leave them 'til next time, but as they're curled under I try & get them as it must feel weird trying to walk on them like that. At what length do these curly nails need a trim do you think?
Sorry if it's been asked before, had a quick look but can't find much except a brief mention.
