Their spines are fragile, I don't think holding them like this is good and may be uncomfortable for the little pig.

It's true they can't be on their back, but this is ok.

This was a transitional moment as my wife was getting her into nail trimming position when I caught the look on her face and decided to take a picture.

I was making a joke in this case. Daisy is actually the easy one. She got her nails trimmed quick and easy after this picture was taken.

Rose is more trouble. She's very aggressive about defending her bodily autonomy. She fights and bites, and wiggles around. My wife tries to get one foot done on Rose every week.

Mine make a big deal about nail cutting as well. They'll try to jump away right when i clip a bit.

Yep.

I have an idea for a better type of pet nail clippers.

I need to work it out, patent it, and retire to a guinea pig shelter in the country.
