Re: nail grooming?

I have two pigs with black nails and two with clear. Just trim the tips of the nail off - no more than a couple of millimetres at a time. Mine get their nails cut at the start of every month - any longer and the nails are longer than they should be. It's easy to tell when my clear-nailed pigs nails need trimming as the nail turns yellow where the quik doesn't reach. I just trim the black-nailed pigs nails at the same time and take off just a small amount.

Keep some flour, coffee grounds (very fine) or QuikStop with you as you cut just in case you do catch the quik.
