I have posted a few times about a new tortoise I took in and have received so much good advice so I thought I would ask how to cut her nails. She is 15 years old and is starting to be more active. I was waiting to cut her nails until she was stronger and in better health. I will post some pictures of her nails and would love as much detail as possible on how to cut them. Thanks IMG_1183.JPG IMG_1097.JPG

You can just use large nail clippers as you would on a cat or a dog. Just make sure to not cut into the into quick as that will cause bleeding.

If you want more details/opinions, just search for "Trimming tortoise nails" and you will get a lot of different threads.
