Nails during brumation

[Gretchen]

Hi guys. Wasn't sure where to post this so please feel free to let me know if it should be elsewhere.

Gretchen has bee. Brumating going on 2 months now. I took her out today for a bath and drink of water and noticed her nails have gotten a bit long. I will try tomorrow to get her out again and cut them if she lets me (tried tonight and she was NOT having it).

Anyone have issues with not being able to trim nails while in brumation? I don't want them to get too long but she's also not very cooperative when I wake her up.

Thank you!!!

If they aren't long enough to be problematic I'd probably leave them alone until she is more cooperative. Even then I've had better luck just trying a few at a time because they start to get squirmy. Instead of full on clipping if she isn't having that you could try just a sand down with an emery board but that might have to wait until she is in a more cooperative mood as well.
