Hi! Newbie to the forum here!

I love taking care of my pigs but sometimes certain tasks are hard.
What are the hardest parts about taking care of your pigs?

My number 10 responder will get a special emoticon!

Thanks!
 
I agree with Wheeky, cutting their nails is the most stressful but I haven't drawn blood for about a year so I must be getting more expert or is it more cautious. I'm dreading cutting the nails of the 4 baby boys I'm fostering. They're about 3 months old & their nails are very sharp as I can vouch for with scratches on my hands & wrists.
 
I'd say bathing - when you do 12 of them you end up totally soaked through
 
Thank you for all the replies! Just so you all know, I am a product designer and a guinea pig lover, so I plan on creating some cool products for guinea pigs that will help make keeping them easier for us human folks and better for piggies too! If there is anything you wish existed to help you and your pigs, keep the suggestions coming! I can totally relate to being stressed when they are sick I've had a hyperthyroid pig, and have been through the many feedings and medicine administering. SO much work but very worth it
