Updates from Thesil and Nicole - Tip for nail trimming

Another update from one of our baby and its own.  Thesil and Nicole wrote to let us know how they are both getting on.  Here is what Nicole had to say about Thesil:

"Hey Sharron, I hope all is well.  Sorry I haven't updated you in a while on how Thesil is doing.  I've been really busy with school.  Thesil is doing amazing!  She loves to cuddle up with me at night and watch movies and loves to go exploring and she certainly loves her meal worms.  She has gotten so big over the past few weeks and definitely an avid wheeler.  She is an amazing Hedgehog her colours have also really come out she is so beautiful!  I am still having an awful hard problem cutting her nails, I have been trying to cut them every other day.  I'm able to get a few but not enough, her nails keep on getting stuck on my clothing, blankets etc.  Anyways, here are a few pictures of her that I have taken over the past few weeks.

Thanks
Nicole"

Here are a couple of tips for nail trimming:

When the nails are soft from a bath, place the Hedgehog on the top of a wire cage so the legs are drooped through the wire.  Hold one leg and trim the nails.  When placed like this on a wire cage top it is more difficult for the Hedgehog to ball up.

Another way to trim is to have another person hold her so her legs droop over your hands and the second person can take one leg at a time and trim the nails.

It is always better if you are able to trim a small amount for one or two nails, than to trim too much  all at once.  Some Hedgehogs get use to the trim over time, so be patient and try all things available to help trim.
