does he need a nail trim?

[jeffjeff]

his front ones seem fine but his back ones are beginning to curl abit do i need to clip them back a little. he's a russian.

You can nip a little off the tips, but Russian babies have pretty long nails. It's not out of the ordinary.

I don't have Russians, but for my Red Footeds, I have a few flat cement pads that I have laying out in my pens that seem to do the job. Same thing for my dog. He walks down the garden path to do his business. Cement and clay bricks.

thanks for replying , i'll just leave them alone then if its normal. he has a few stones and things to climb and walk on that seem keep his front ones down and all his digging about helps. i'll just keep an eye on them and trim them if needs be.

Russians in general seem to have longer nails. Easy to 'maintain' with just a slate and some rocks
I love his pudgy little legs

Yeah- Russians need those long nails to climb the walls of their enclosures!!!
