Junior Guinea Pig
Its no secret to those on here how much time and love I share with my Bramble Bear but we seem to have a hurdle we just can't cross.
Nail clipping is a Nightmare!
I can cut the back ones no problem but when it comes to the front ones she goes dramatically squirmy, makes horrid noises and just yanks her foot away. She's even attempted to bite me on one occasion.
What am I doing wrong? What tips do you have? Is she just too used to getting her own way?
I've tried covering her head, getting someone else to hold her, using veg as a distraction, different positions and just downright stubbornness is all I get.
I don't mind paying the vet bills to let them do it like I have been doing but going to the vets is never a fun experience for any animal and I feel like a slight failure of a Piggy owner.
So yeah, Work your magic Guinea Pig Forum... x
