 Hi, I have a male glider named Xylo. I have been trimming his claws myself with baby clippers but sometimes I worry that it hurts him. I am extremely careful and I only nip off the very ends (below where the white turns to clear) but I still worry because sometimes the claw splinters a little. Is there a clipper especially for gliders? What's the best method?

i have mentioned this before..but i work for an exotics animal vet and the clippers he recomends is small wire cutters from radio shack. they are spring loaded so if you catch a nail or the animal pulls away you can let go and they will open (so it doesnt snag) they are also great because they let you see what you are doing. we use them in the office all the time and i use them at home with all my animals. it is a great tool

are those the same ones you use for making jewelry the small wire cutter? i have some of those and I also have some of the heavy duty wire cutters but I have been using regular nail clippers with no problems.
