Oh God, I'm dreading this topic completely!
While the boys were out playing last night, I noticed that both Rose and Freyr have very long hind nails. Freyr in particular has long nails, where one toe is actually splaying! They definitely have to be clipped. I'm dreading it! In the rat health care guide it gives instructions on how to clip them, so I'm confident I can do it, but I'm just worried about how much they'll wiggle around and such. Any tips or suggestions?
Also, in the rat health care book, it mentioned something about the nails being dark at the base... is that a cause for concern? Did I read that properly?
