so Sully is around 5 months old now, yay! anyway, the past few weeks, when I give him a bath or let him sit with me while I'm on my laptop, I'm noticing he's scratching me--really bad. this morning I held him for a time, before the apartment upstairs had some massive loud noises and scared the tar out of him so he scrambled, and now I've got bleeding scratches all over my hands and arms from his claws!
it's not that they're too long, I suppose, but they're extremely sharp and keep cutting me when I hold him and he runs around on my hands and arms. I've heard of people trimming their claws with nail clippers, but that makes me really nervous, because Sully's only about 13 inches long right now, if that gives you an idea of how small (slender, I mean, not small in length) his claws are. is there anything I can do to dull his claws a little? or do I just have to put up with this?
it's not that I don't like him having claws or anything, it's just that his claws aren't always the cleanest, so I'm almost constantly washing my hands, putting neosporin on, and then band-aids, and it's just kind of gross? just curious what other owners do with this!
