I take my tortoise outside on the concrete to file down the nails, but it hasn't been helping whatsoever. Every time I hold him his nails proceed to scrape my hands painfully. I looked on this forum and it said to trim them. I tried my best to not hurt his nerve, but he started to bleed and then proceeded to poop. I feel terrible that I hurt him, and now I'm worried that he will be frightened of me whenever he interacts with me.
Does this cause them a lot of pain? Will he be scared of me whenever I approach him now?
Should I use a nail file instead?
I'm a beginner and the last thing I want to do is to hurt him. Help!
