If the dig a lot in a certain corner you can put down sand paper. I trim my blueys nails so far only my 3 adults have needed it. My 2 babies haven't. My IJ male's were curling under so I had to cut the quick but it barely bled.

I LOOOVE tanimbars! Any pics? Where'd you get him?

YES! You MUST clip their nails if they grow!
