Farrier by trade. See, centipedes have a really amazing trick up our many sleeves, in that we can use one set of limbs to hold ourselves to the underside of the hoof, and the other set to pass a pencil along to trace the outline, making for perfectly fitted shoes every time!
Installing them is obviously a bit more work, but we’ve come up with a nice clamp-style nail driver that also makes use of all the limbs to provide the hinge pressure needed to drive the nail.
For trims, we use a big grinding wheel attached to a centipede-size treadmill for power. Sure it takes a while, but the results are perfectly manicured hooves! So smooth and even!
We haven’t figured out a good method to scrape the hooves, however. We normally have the humans do that, as we scurry around making sure nothing was missed.
O! My apologies! I thought you were a farrier FOR centipedes.
I never considered that you were a centipede that was a farrier... Does that make me racist? Maybe.
