Clipping claws on a sook

[thefluffyparent]

Heya, one of my girls is an absolute sook because she hates getting her claws clipped, she whinges and literally squeals as if she is in pain but before I even chop the nail! I have never cut too close to the quick or hurt her or anything. She gets so stressed, treats don't work. She calms down quickly, but does anybody else have any tips for dealing with sooky piggies. She's an absolute sweetheart though and I hate seeing her stressed

I clip claws by sitting at a table all the way in, letting the pig sit on the table on a blanket/ fleece and use my arm to cuddle the pig into my chest.
I then have two free hands to clip claws, once one "side" is done, turn the pig around and do the other two paws.
My boys stay calm and enjoy the cuddle.
You could also feed veggies at the same time as an extra distraction.

Our Revo used to be less confident, I found that rolling the whole pig in a towel worked good for the rear legs. It looks like a ridiculous sausage with a butt but it works. For the hands, we still have to keep its mouth busy and firmly cover the head. That means 2 persons and a thick glove. This pig as a few curly nails so it's not easy at all.
Anyway, it doesn't seem to hold a grudge on us for that.
