Beardie Nail Clipping? Help?!?

Not open for further replies.
My beardie is about 9 months old and I've had her for about 6 of those months. Since I have gotten her I've clipped her nails several times, but each time she struggles and gets stressed out. Is there any alternate way she could file her nails without clipping. I've heard of stones or rocks of some sort that can file their nails done naturally...is this true and if so were can I get some? By the way she lives in a 55 gallon viv if that helps in any way for rock size etc. Thanks in advance any advice is greatly appreciated.

You could try putting some ceramic tile down as substrate in the tank. You could also try filing them with an emery board instead of clipping. I've found they can get a bit squirmy when clipping the nails so I try to do it in the evening when they're a bit more tired and I focus on trimming just one hand/foot at a time so then they can wiggle a bit and then I try again on the next hand.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
