Oh, ok, so beaks need trimming, but the claws are ok. Will do. Does anyone have the species or latin name for a safe cactus for my guys? Maybe I could find one from a garden center?
Hi all. Does anyone have some tips for trimming beaks and claws? In particular back claws? I'm relatively new to this although I've trimmed our torts beak once, and have always been our pet claw trimmer (cat, rat, ferret, iguana, etc). I've seen someone use a Dremel to file down the beak, I...
