Puffs Clips
How do I clip a angry guinea pig's nails?
My guinea pig Spunky hates to have his nails clipped. He puffs up and starts angry chittering. Every time I even get clippers situated on a nail he'll start bucking and I get scared that I'll cut more than his nails, so I quit. Wrapping him has had very little success cause he spends most of his time trying to pull his leg back. Would taking him to a vet be worth my money, since he'll just act the same there?
Odds are he'll be even MORE agitated at the vet - he's a stranger.
My suggestion is to bribe the little fella with some treats. My pigs always liked the yogurt drops, and fresh veggie are always a hit. Give him a treat before you begin, then after each paw is done. Pet and soothe him while he's munching.
Be patient- it will take him a couple of rounds to get used to the clipping routine.
