Nate couldnt distract you with this water bottle while you were making the video today-he was busy! I use those kind of clippers too. Nate is such a gorgeous piggie!
Nate was so sweet tolerating the nail clipping , he has 2 little white colored feet and 2 little black colored feet . Nice job on the nail clipping . 😁👍 💕
Its not an easy task to clip the nails but Scotty your Technique is very helpful and giving the piggies some veggies & treats is indeed also helps to keep them calm. I enjoyed the video , thanks for the great share ! Have a Happy Saturday ! ☀️🎶🥰
Great information, I see so many people cut nails in the oddest way. I think people start to panic because they are nervous. I always tell people try and stay calm. I keep the bleed stop as well. Confidences is the biggest thing!
Hi Scotty, l had a piggy years ago who used to cry the whole time I did his nails...I then realised that he would wheek even before l clipped...it was so funny! 😂 Bless him 😍 xXx
I had one that literally screamed. Took two of us: one to clip, and the other to hold the pig and the apple we had to keep in her mouth! Ended up only giving her apples at nail trim time, so she would get excited and distracted by the treat.
I like your technique of doing the little squeeze first to test out if you're too close to the quick. Anything that helps raise confidence for nail clipping is awesome! I also tend to cut conservatively and just do it more frequently so I don't have to stress about getting too close. haha
Sorry, just got to this video. Good instruction and job clipping his nails by yourself. I always had to have someone else hold my guinea pigs. It is nice to know Nate only bites when he gets loves.
We sisters use to help our father with his nails. (He lost his right hand after an handgranateaccident after the 2nd worldwar, some french soldiers left a granat in a barn at the farm where my father and his siblings stayed in evacuation) so there are plenty ways in practicing. But I feel ashamed:each time his left hand is done I ask for his right. My memory is short. A lovely video as always❤️Maria
I’m bringing my boy to the vet because I’m new at being a piggie mom and I don’t want my him to bite me. He bites me a lot ( not hard) even when I am just petting him in his cage. I don’t completely understand piggie behavior, but I am learning. I love him so much.
Reminds me of one of my Guinea pigs. He is Wiggly and jumping allot lol. I BB Is so cute..and your Guinea pigs love you so much that they would call u and say Scotty! Come and play with me lol
Your nailclipping technique seems to be the same as mine. I have tried Saskia's technique, but can't seem to get the hang of it, my piggies aren't cooperating if I try to hold them like that. So, I usually resort to bribing them with veggies too... Even then, my Swiss teddies are still quite dramatic about it (fortunately the others are more relaxed). Nate seems to be doing quite ok with nailclipping I must say. And for once, he can't make noise with his drinking bottle in the video :D
I had a guinea pig that knew the sound of the clippers opening and would make a fist and hide her paws. No amount of treats would distract her. She held a grudge for a couple hours after clipping and would refuse to purr after petting her.
My pigs have wooden floors in their cages which wears down their nails naturally. I occasionally get asked to clip pigs' nails for other people but mine never need it.
@@cme1027 you could just put some wooden items and planks where your guinea pigs run. Make sure that the wood does not have splinters and that it not treated with any unsafe chemicals. My cages are polished pine wood.
Great video as always! I don’t now if this is the best place to ask, but I do have a question. Last Wednesday I adopted 2 piggies; Zyna and Kyra. The girls are doing great! They love their floortime. 🐹😄 I would like to use insence like I did many times before. But the piggies are in the same room as the insence. Are guinea pigs ‘okay’ with that stuff? Is it dangerous or unhealthy, with the smoke and all? I won’t use it until I know it is safe.
Aloha! 🤙 grew up on Oahu. 😊 hm Im not an expert but I don’t think that’d be a good idea. It could be super stressful for them with the noises and the sand could lead to impaction if they ate any (don’t know if they would 🤷🏻♀️ tho)
I have two girl Piggies and they have gotten a little too chunky ice just feed him a little too much and I think I need some tips on how to make them lose a few little pounds
My bird flew away 3 days ago and i am wondering if he will come back or not :(( it was only 10 day, but in this small amount of time i really loved him,😭😭

Nate is too cute! And that one ear that is floppier than the other - the exact same way it was when he came out of Lilah... ADORABLE. 😍
A day with BB is a good day... thank god for this post . I need to do my boys.

Your piggies have all the luck, having such a careful and loving human !
Thank you

Man those clippers from Japan are AWESOME.

My daughter holds her piggies and I clip. It works out for all of us 😊

Amazing!
Thank you for this video! I struggle with nail clipping. I have 5 piggies and they are well over due for a trim.
My pigs hate nail cutting, But it has to be done!

I'm about to clip one of my pigs nails for the first time, I have clippers and styptic powder.. now all I need is bravery 😂
Great advice to squeeze before clip. I am going to try that cuz mine have dark nails too.
Thank you!!
Nate:IM GUNNA DIE

Thanks to your website, Scotty’s Animals.com, I seem to have all the products and items you use in your videos.
One clipper is a fingernails clippers the other wider clipper is a toenail clipper.

Hi.. what do you mean u have wooden floors for your piggies. Is this a thing????
@@cme1027 my pigs homes are wooden. I put bedding down where they sleep and nothing on the rest.
@@TheFarmat64 what kind of wood.. what does it look like ?.. how can i do the same?
@@cme1027 you could just put some wooden items and planks where your guinea pigs run. Make sure that the wood does not have splinters and that it not treated with any unsafe chemicals. My cages are polished pine wood.
I used to take my gang to the vet for nail clipping. One day I bit the bullet and with the help of CBD on the ear, I can do all 19 piggies myself.
What???????? Is this a thing u need to say more
@@cme1027, Saskia is always talking about CBD and how awesome it is
Imagine if this was nails
We're gonna cut Nails nails 😂😂😂 lol
The first thing I see is Bee-bee (I don't know if I spelled that correctly). That just made my day. If you see this, I love really love this channel!

Not bad Scotty but the two champions are Abby and Saskia. 😀 OLD FRENCH LADY

I have two girl Piggies and they have gotten a little too chunky ice just feed him a little too much and I think I need some tips on how to make them lose a few little pounds
