Clipping Claws?

[Sashee]

Yoshi's claws seemed to be getting long and his toes were pushed up so far, I figured he was probably uncomfortable. So I trimmed the fronts before bed last night. However, this morning, i put him on my chest this morning and he almost fell (I caught him) since his claws couldn't attach to my shirt. I don't want him to get hurt but I don't want his claws to get too long and his feet hurt. Any ideas? And should I trim the backs too, or leave them alone since he can't really hold on to things with them trimmed?

Trim him claws and keep a hold of him when he is on you. Its more important then his toes don't get damaged then it is that he can cling to you.

Ok. I went ahead and finished his backs. He kept jerking his foot away and at first I thought I was hurting him but now I'm pretty sure he just didn't like me messing with him like that. I didn't trim much off cuz I'm still scared of cutting too much off and hurting him, but his toes aren't pushed up as much now, for sure.
