Hi everybody!
My Russian tortoise Paarthurnax's nails have been getting VERY long. I've never clipped or trimmed them before, and I assumed that by just walking around his home, he would naturally wear them down. But that hasn't really been happening, and he actually ended up breaking one of his nails down to the stump because it was so long! (Don't worry; he didn't bleed or anything)
My question is, should I clip or file his nails? I've read that using an emery board is better since you can get more control over it, and it doesn't make them bleed.
Thanks!
