Nail Cutting

[Sara412]

Today I noticed that Vader's (Darthvader!) front paw nails are getting a little long for the first time (9months old) - I cut all my other piggys nails - no problem, BUT Vader is jet black all over even his nails and - I am worried how to cut them as can't see how far to go

Just trim the ends off and you will have no problems. You can trim the ends off each month.

I've now got a piggie with all black claws and I do exactly as @piggyfan says - just clip a small amount off very regularly.

Gorgeous lad! I do the same with my Hazelnut who has 3 black feet - just a little at the same time each month. Strangely, the only time I've made him bleed is when cutting his one white foot! At the last minute he squirmed. I now stuff his mouth with a parsley stalk while I'm cutting.

Yes, a little often is the best way. They also soon get used to have theirs nails cut when it's done regular & it get's easier for you & them.
