Nail Clippers - where to get a decent pair?

[MintyAndGarry (TEAS)]

The headline says it all really! I'm looking to get some nail clippers for my boys and was wondering if anyone had any tips about what to get? The vet had a good pair when I went before, but I didn't ask where they were from.... :

I got mine from Wilko's they are ok as well.

Will have to see if they still do them...(one of my friends is a store manager for them!) They've recently 'revamped' their pet range and no longer do the toys that the boys used to like...keep your fingers crossed! ;D

I think they cost no more than a fiver. Must check out their pet range. Their hay is cheap at £2 does for them sleeping on it! ;D

I just use an ordinary pair that is just for the piggies...

I would recommend this type...

I use these on all the pigs and I even use them to take off the spurs.

A human pair for toes or hands are good also.

There has been some sensor nail clippers on the market for the ill-experienced but I wouldn't be 100% sure! I will stick to using the normal nail clippers on the dogs that come into work and the little ones above for my pigs.

I use the large human ones for my guineas, i prefer them to my pet ones

 

[jnenbnb]

I have the ones in GPQs first link you can buy them in P@H too but theyre a bit more than on ebay x

 

[Angeladeedah]

I got mine from Pampered Piggies - they're really good ones.

 

[tinso]

i brought mine from the vets cost about £5

 

[poppy1775]

i just use normal human 1s :smitten:

 

[starla]

i use ones from p@h, they were about 2.99 and cut the nail off cleanly and quickly. They've been the best i've ever used

 

[MintyAndGarry (TEAS)]

Thanks for all your suggestions...at least I've got an idea where to go now!

 

[MintyAndGarry (TEAS)]

Have ordered the ones you suggested Emma...will let you know how I get on....think my biggest problem will be getting the piggies to sit still...especially Ben! : >

 

[Tayz]

lol when i go to do my 3 babies 1 of them sits still while the other 2 sqiurm and wriggle until you let them go

 

[Angeladeedah]

Mine are a nightmare - they wriggle and wriggle whilst screaming (and that's before I've even tried to take a snip)

I use human ones and I think they are great Iv never had a problem
