hi,
wan't quite sure where to post this!
Can I please get some advice on nail trimming, what is the best way for a pair of 17 week old hooligans! I have trimmed dogs nails before so know about the blood vessel and all, but is there any knack with Bengals.
They are going through trying to deceide who will be dominant, i think at the moment, a couple of days ago their playing suudenly turned a bit more violent, claws out spitting hissing etc, and my hands and legs (which were starting to look a bit more respectable) have returned to scratches which are definatly more painful than a couple of weeks ago! They do use their tree quite alot but this is not managing to keep their nails down - our Doctor even asked my beloved if he was self-harming, thanks to the very impressive set of marks down his arm, this was when Max fell off the top of the tree ( it is a big one!) and aimed for the sofa, but hubbys arm was on the rest and max slid down bare flesh - claws out!
They were very well behaved when i had to squirt medicine down their throats - heres hoping
please help!

Hi all,

Thanks for that - i will let you know how it goes !

hi all

well i just had to report on the nail trimming! front claws easy peasy, i left it til they were really relaxed and they just let me trim. Back not so easy on Max, he really wasn't interested but the job was completed with little fuss, Freya just sat up and leant back (imagine the way humans sit on the floor with arms behind us) her back legs were akimbo in front of her and she just watched as i trimmed her claws - Of all ther times i needed a video camera running! oh well i will set it up next time and see if i can capture my little lady having her pedicure!!!
