Clipping nails
Eeek !!! Using a blow torch on piggies....never...even if Tizzy has removed chunks of skin in the past !!! Anyway, a beam torch is a small torch with a narrow,small but powerful beam. It´s similar to the ones that doctor´s use to check your pupil ( black part of eyes, not unruly students ! ) reaction time, only a little bigger.
The reason I use it is, that I am worried about getting the beam into my piggies eyes and hurting them. A good Beam Torch is a pocket Mag-Light which is internationally available, and if you twist the lens at the top, it will narrow the beam. If you feel that that is still too wide and gets in their eyes, then merely cover the lens with a peice of card and sticky tape in place, leaving a tiny gap for the light to get through. A torch is the general term, and the beam part of it is referred to the narrow focused beam.
Hope that clears my name from blow-torching piggies !!! ;o)
Peace, Love, and Happiness, Always

Hey Lynx, I think you are onto something. I think we could "hog tie" them!! No pun intended!! That way all four little paws would be at the ready!

When I was new to cavies, I once tried to rig up a sleeve with their feet poking out that could be suspended or held by another person while their legs dangled invitingly waiting to be clipped. Of course it was a failed disaster of an idea. Gps are just about as squirmy as you can get.
