Jess
Adult Guinea Pig
Started building the new extension to the shed (OH more then me. I did a little drilling but spent most the time observing like you do.) also went to get all the racks for shelving, tacks and screws bought the OH a new saw as well 
Put some drops on all the piggies as noticed some were scratching but that has now stopped thankfully. (Rambo and Patch made a massive fuss over nothing as per usual)
Carried on watching over the piggies for Molly and Fleur our neighbour cats who like to sit on the fence. Decided to air out some hay as it seemed a little damp so nice and dried out.
Got Patch out for a cuddle and noticed her nails seemed to need cutting. Took a while and now have five piggies with much shorter nails but got screeched at by Rambo and Patch... bitten by Pecan and at one point Pecan decided to sit with her back legs spread out on front of her! She gave me a right stink eye.
Lucky hid her face and went all floppy and Maple... She squealed whenever I was about to cut to close... Pretty helpful so I didn't accidentally cut the nail too short!
Got to Lucky and she was good as gold but noticed her little feet seemed a bit dry and the same with Maple.
Are dark piggies more prone to dry feet? If so what's the best treatment. Doesn't seem to be bothering either of them. Maple was running around like a right maniac! And still was one I left them for the night.
Right now... Poor OH is aching. I have scratches all over my wrists and in need of a nice hot bath!
Any ideas also - what's the best stuff for dry feet on piggies?
