My female's toenails have stopped growing all together it seems. Besides Ca, is there any other vit.s that aid in this? None of them look brittle, they have never split, Rose lost one a yr ago but it grew back.
I'm not complaining about not having to clip her nails, lol, but Rose gets plenty of Ca in her varied diet along with a repti sun 10.0.
I've been studying around but haven't found a suitable answer. I recommend using a format like this when asking health q's. Please tell me if i forgot any vital info., it would help us all and will save everyones' time.
