Nail Grinder

[Flamestriker]

whilst searching for some large Guinea Pig stickers for the pellet bin (it's covered in puppies) I came across a pet nail grinder.

I don't know much about them, but I struggle using small animal clippers. I'm OK cutting the back paws but the front ones are a nightmare, because my depth perception is shot. I struggle getting the nails in to the clippers.

Here is a grinder...I'm not sure about having anything like that near delicate paws!

I wonder if they make a noise while they are grinding, I could see how maybe that might stress the piggies out.

We use a regular pair of nail clipper and I alway shave help. Eli is only 6 months old and is not happy with it yet but I am able to get his nails clipped with out pain. I have only had him a short while and he came from a home full of kids whose parents surrendered him.

Looks a bit like the dremel my OH has in the garage...

Yeh, Lady Kelly. My OH has a dremel as well. I couldn't place where I had seen that familiar shape before

I used to have one of a different brand called 'Pedi Paws' which I bought for the dogs nails. Have to say it was a load of rubbish for dogs nails, but they are a lot harder than piggy nails. I guess the pigs could get used to the noise is introduced slowly.
