extremly long toenails!

[Angeljim95]

I need help, the trio of silkies I bought today have extremly long nails, any links or info on how to clip them would be greatly thanked!!!

Just like a dog or cats...Dont cut to far as you will cut the quick ( vein) in the nail. Use a bright light to work with so you can see the quick more clearly through the nail ( if they are white nails). Black nails...flip it's foot so you can underneath the toe nails before cutting... I use baby clippers...

How do you trim their beaks?

i agree with sonew. i'm a groomer so its easy for me. if you do accidently quick them and you dont have any quick stop, use flower

Thank you. I figured it would be the same way. I tried finding a silkie spa, but the town I live near must be too small.
