Trimming nails for tortoise

Hi,

I have a tortoise at home which has quite long nails for its rear legs. Is there any tips or things to look out for when trimming the nails of tortoise?

I would suggest to leave it alone...coz I ever used a nail clipper to clip a tiny tip of my tortoise, and it bleed at the tip...

Hi Fabian,

you can cut it a little for its comfort, but not too much. Less than half
