So my black piggie Daisy has black toe nails. I don't know where the quick is on her foot so I don't know how far to cut. Does anyone know how to deal with this?
 
There’s a video on YouTube (if I remember correctly) that says it helps to shine a light underneath the nail so you can see the quick. Our boys have black toenails so I just trim and stop before I think I need to cut some more off. I’ve cut them too short a couple of times hence why I’m now over cautious.
 
Yeah we shine a light on the toe then take a tiny amount off
 
Mine has one black foot, if you can, shine a light underneath or I tend to trim a few millimetres off and have the flour on standby, just incase
