I just sat on a chair at the side of their outside pen and my daughter passed me one at once and they got a groom and nails cut and then back in the pen for a run round then they tucked into a nice big cabbage leaf or two..

Your tricolour at the front munching on food, looks like Bertie! Dobey is black and tan - like a Doberman!

They went today and they were as good as gold apparently. I didn't actually go into the room with them, and was left outside which I thought was a bit weird as never had that in a vet before!

Re: Guinea Pig Nail Cutting
my vet charges five pounds a piggy but reduces it to 3 if your have 4 or more. which i thought was quite good. And my dog groomer who had 13 piggys use to do mine till i learnt to do it safely use to charge me 5 pounds.

I've done it at college. If you have somebody to hold the guinea pig while you do it its pretty straight forward. It's difficult if your guinea pigs nails are black and you cant see the quick x
This is what I do with my rats. Saves my arms getting shredded by the little buggers
