Well, straight up I will say I am a bad slave because I had my first go at trimming black nails today and poor Ollie pigwig must have freakishly long toes because I only took off 1-2mm despite it being 8 weeks since his last nail trim at the vets and I still made 2 toes bleed :( but he forgave me in exchange for parsley and a new haycube and he also got a bit fat! That's over 1200g of majestic handsome silver agouti boar (with disabled legs and now 2 slightly bleeding toes!)

Tallulah-oolah got a bit thin at 810g probably with the cold weather and her chubster handsome hubby stealing her porridge oats, but she let me do nail trims (no blood thank goodness!) no problem except she doesnt like cold hands! She still has a big round piggy bum and lots of hippo ripples :)

Big pig Clover escaped the nail trims today as the vet trimmed them after she ripped anail off 10 days ago, big pig's poorly toe looks good, no swelling or redness just a stumpy scabby toe!

Jezzy floof is as beautifully floofy as ever and had a full pedicure with nail trims, antiseptic paw wipes and a paw massage with gorgeous guinea's f&m cream

And lovely Blod had super-easy nail trims as she still has soft transparent little nails like a baby, no pig has barbered Blod for a while so she's sporting her natural hair today, which definitely has a crest (actually a sort of double rosette crest!) but apart from that its impossible to determine what breed of white-and-lilac floof lion she is, there are coronets and peruvians in her "pure bred" ancestry I believe but Blod isnt quite any of them :)

I think it's lovely how Blod has come on since you adopted her as a Ringwormed frightened scary pig!

Blod weighs 1180g now (almost half a kilo more than when she arrived!) and is a bossy chubby little madam who doesnt mind a weight check or a nail trim or a cuddle as long as it is accompanied by a generous helping of parsley or coriander :) she still occasionally gets spooked but her love of food and her love of being the centre of attention in the herd has overcome many of her anxieties! :)
 
Such beautiful piggies :love: :love:
I’ve done two nail trims with Aliona now, dreaded it as she’s such a nightmare to pick up etc! Nope, was an angel, as was my chunky hunk Luigi! Good old Jess was the biggest blooming wriggly trouble, even after nearly 7 years of it :doh: Thankfully her nails don’t grow too quickly at her age!
