Yes, clipping nails is fine and can actually be fun for you and your beardie. Here's how I do it. It is easiest to do this with one other person so one can clip the nails and the other can secure the beardie. I like to cover Duke's head with something and then I just lift each foot and clip a tiny little piece off the end of each nail using a baby nail clipper. You can also use an emery board to file the nails instead of clipping. If you clip too far and clip the quick, it may bleed. You should have some cornstarch or another anti bleeding product at the ready in case you have an accident. Good luck!
