[Gpdd] HEALTH: Nails & how i solved the problem

[jaaladog]

Hi all,

After reading many suggestions on here and  other guinea pages and looking 
at (if you will excuse the expression) lots of different clippers, I finally 
decided to try a very small pair of manicure scissors that I had in my kit. 
I held the girls while Earl did each foot.  He only took a tiny little bit 
off of each one for now and then we did put a piece of cinder block in their 
cage below the 2 water bottles.  The block is only raised about 1 and 1/2 
inches from the floor of the cage, so not too scary for them.  it is 
probably 9 x 10" area that they can stand on and it really seems to be doing 
the trick!!  Their nails are nowhere as sharp as they were and that's a 
relief for sure!  Now, I can reach in the cage and find where they have drug 
hay up onto the cement and are sitting on it. LOL  Like they don't have 
enough room everywhere and anywhere else for the hay... they really are 
willful sometimes, eh?  But they sure can make you laugh.  Earl has been 
taking some cute pics today and after he d-loads them to the puter, I'll 
send them along.  I *blush* now have more pics of my piggies than I do my 
grandkids or nieces and nephews.  But, of course, they don't live with me 
and the pics do so what are you gonna' do??  Grin

Samantha & Tabitha are wheeking a quiet, sleepy good night to you all.  They 
had a very busy day outside and running around on our bar tonight.  More 
adventures to tell you about tomorrow.

Wheeks & winks,,
