Toenail Clippers

[ben awes]

I am wondering what folks use to trim toenails on larger aldabra tortoises? A few of the back toenails on my 150 lb guys don't wear down enough on their own. Any suggestions or links to products would be appreciated.

Thank you!

hoof trimmers come in a smaller size for goats, pigs, etc. But before you go that route make sure the tortoises's toe nail length is really too.long. Some species of tortoise DO have naturally longer nails.

That's what I was going to suggest, hoof trimmers/clippers.

You could post a pic and try to put something next to them for size comparison or pm a pic to Yvonne.

Do you know the sex of your tortoises? The nails on females can get quite long.
