Hey all I noticed bambams (my recent rescue) nails were very long, and one is twisted to the left at almost a 90 degree angle. It's not swollen or bleeding, it looks just like all his other fingers and seems to cause no pain when touched, but I would assume his nails being so Long and the one twisted one would make things a little more difficult for him. I've done some searching on the forums, I just wanted some opinions.
I have some rocks and bricks in his tank, along with a few rather rough hides. So Im guessing that's going to help, but I wanted to know if there was more I could do without potentially hurting him or freaking him out. He's very calm, but because I don't believe in his 5 or so years that he has ever has his nails trimmed, he would freak out a little, I know my dog doesn't even like it and she gets hers trimmed about twice a month. I'm also very nervous about trimming the nails, I'd hate to cut too far and cause him harm. Would a quick dremmel hit with a tiny sanding attachment be safer? Or would that cause even more stress?
