Baby Sully's claws pretty long

[Ajbuer0325]

Annabelle is only about 10 wks old (rough guess) and her nails are still translucent but they seem long to me. Should you ever clip a baby sulcata's nails?

A baby of that age shouldn't have too long of nails. Post a pic.
If you place the food on a piece of flat tile or rock it will help to keep the beak and nails filed down.

Once she gets a bit older where she can get out and walk on a variety of surfaces they will wear down a little. I cant see it as a problem for them , they don't get manicures in the wild !

In all my years, I've never trimmed the nails of any sulcata ever. I doubt your babies nails are too long.

Personally I have not had enough courage to trim Oli's nails, despite the fact that he's not a baby. Please post pics of your baby tort and his enclosure, and....

a very warm welcome to the forum!
