Would you be happy if your dentist came towards your mouth with these?
Well
this is what Boris had to contend with!
Rosie also added that it was pretty tough to do and involved a fair amount of squealing, whether this was on the 'dentists' part or the pigs I wasn't too sure! Another option was to use a cheese wire.
To Rosie's surprise I immediately got the bolt croppers and some pig food. 'We're doing it NOW?' asks Rosie. Yep, let's get it done' I reply. If I'm going to do things like this it's a case of get on and do it - strike whilst the iron is hot. So it was down to Boris's pen for tusk cutting.
I get ready with the bolt croppers, I lined them up and flexed my muscles ready to take on the challenge of man with bolt croppers versus Boris's tusk. Rosie had a bowl of food set up and was ready to help in any way. Boris plunges into the bowl of food. I get the bolt croppers around his tusk ready to strain away.
CHINK, BING - job done. No squeals, no pain and no strain from either Boris or me. Boris never even noticed. I even managed to trim the tusk back more with the same 'Chink, bing. The other tusk Boris, at some stage, had self trimmed so no action needed there.
