So my tortoise has quite long nails now, I think they are about an inch but I don't know if you are supposed to cut them or not. we have these "stones" in his tank that are supposed to file down his nails when he scratches them but he always stays clear of them. He also digs in his tank a lot too but neither does that help. Please tell me what to do about them... Thanks :D

My tort also has quite long nails. Females dig nests, but mine is a male and I'll post a pix. That's a good question, I want to know as well.....

Hi, Super here. :D

If your tortoise's nails are like Maggie's tortoise's nails, then do nothing. There's nothing wrong with that length.
