Nails!

[cassybaby89]

Hello. My pregnant sows nails were very long. She has had been here three days but has been allowing petting hand feeding and cuddles. I wanted to get them cut before the babes come just in case. I managed to get all but 3 nails on back legs trimmed but then she was upset and I didn't want to push her. It was so hard since I can't really hold her due to being so close to giving birth. Any advice? Any easy ways to cut a squirmy piggies nails?

I would leave it until after birth, to the honest, or just do them little by little.

Thank you for all of the advice this week. That's what I have decided to do! It's just three anyways. She did really well. Any advice on nail trimming in general
