I remember someone on here telling me that when you cut a pig’s nails the quick goes down and you’ll be able to cut more. How long after you cut their nails does that take to happen? I trimmed my piggies nails for the first time a few days ago but they’re still pretty long but the quick is to close for me to cut anymore.
It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I’ve cut Inara’s big nail by myself a once (before/after) so I guess it wasn’t totally my first time. This was my first time cutting all the piggies’ nails. They were good pigs. They squirmed but you can’t really blame them for that. They didn’t even squirm much though. I didn’t have to bribe them with veggies! They didn’t cry or scream for most of the nails. A few of them did scream pretty loud and pull away once or twice. Maybe I went to close to the quick? No blood though! I was proud of me. I was proud of the piggies for being so good too! After each was finished I set them down alone with a huge pile of parsley for being good girls. I had them alone so they wouldn’t steal each other’s. I was having a heart attack the whole time because I was so scared I’d hurt them. My sister said it was very funny. River’s nails are the hardest to trim because she has really dark brown nails. I held a flashlight under them. I couldn’t leave it on the while time I did her nails though. I think (I’m pretty sure) it hurt her eyes. I just tried to memorize where the quicks were. She didn’t bleed, so I guess I did good. I think next time I’ll use my light up harry potter wand. It isn’t as bright as a flashlight so maybe it won’t bother her as much.
