Natural nail file?

[Mother Hubbard]

So like many of my fellow piggie lover, I clip my herd's nail regular, however I have an elderly lady whose most grumpy about the unlady like way I handle her during this process, she's a lady don't you know!...:p Anywhoooo, her nails are quite difficult to cut, they curl quickly probably because of her age and I was looking for suggestions for a natural abrassive item in her cage. Does anyone use anything?

It can't be a brick as the cage is on a stand on top of another cage so, I'm looking for something light. I did think about putting something on the ramp which is currently carpet since they run up and down that a lot to the hay loft - newly installed.

So answers on a post card to : - Miss Lady Buttercup - Prima Donna, I'm getting old and becoming part of the "Grumpy old woman's Brigade", care of hoomin Lil, the House in ** woods.

What about a pumice brick, it's light and abrasive just like the mouse shaped pumice stones you have in a bathroom but bigger.

That's a great idea, thanks I'll have a nosey posey and see what I can find.

If you have an upper level, use something like a cat scratching post for the ramp, i find that my pigs that have one have much nice nails that aren’t as sharp compared to the piggies that don’t have the ramp

Something like that sounds good but don't make it too abrasive & make their feet sore. I use door mats (not the coconut type) & cut them into strips.
