so i was clipping my sugar glider, spam's nails and i noticed something about her back nails. they were growing strangely and more like a block than a curved nail. it went below the curve of the nail and looked like a block and thats the best i can describe it? sorry idk how to upload pictures, but if its necessary i will figure it out. anyways, does anybody know what this means?

we have had some gliders we rescued/rehomed and they had nails that sound like
you describe, I think is was because the nail cuttings are to far apart.
the ones we have seemed to go back to normal after some good cuttings.
We cut every 3 weeks about and that seems like almost to long sometimes, 2 weeks
seems like the better interval.

I would describe the back nail is a half moon, and the inside of the moon is
filled in with nail material.
