I've recently brought a baby girl home and she HATES when i try to clean her nails. I was wondering if anyone had advice on making it an easier process for both of us. Thanks.

I warm up a blanket and wrap them up like a burrito and wipe and clip clip away.....but they still attempt to fight it but I think a warm blanket helps soothe them a bit.

Welcome to sphynxlair!
Do you have a pic of your girl? And what's her name? Just being curious:)

Maybe you can start by touching ber paws everyday. Just gently pet them and don't do anything else. When she's comfy with you touching her paw you can try touching her nails and "play" with them a bit. If she's okay with that you can take a babywipe and gently try to clean her nails. This way you can build it up and go step by step so she can learn to accept it.
If you just have her, she also still needs to learn she can trust you. Best is to give her some time to get used to you.
