Trimming nails

Postby Sasa » Fri Sep 27, 2024 10:38 pm

Daily handling with my bluey turns out with lots of scratches, should I be trimming its nails? If so, should I do it myself?

If they do not wear them down themselves this could be necessary. Best to have two people, one to hold and one to do the clipping as they are quite squirmy and slippery when agitated and you don't want to make a mistake. I use parakeet nail clippers.
