Not sure if this belongs in here or piggy chat. Ginny has one nail on one of his back feet that is half white, half black and I've just noticed somehow. Is this normal? In any case it doesn't help cutting his nails aha, he's never liked it

Skin markings can run through the whole body. Is the dark and light at the tip and bottom of the nail or is more length-wise?
 
My mistake, it's on his right front paw. It's more length wise, so one side is one colour and the other half side is another

Then is it down to the border between skin markings running right through the nail bed where the nail is being formed. ;)

If it makes you feel any better, it's taken me til now to realise three of Blitzen's paws are white. I always thought he had three black and one white one, but it's the other way around :P
