: How exactly do I go about doing this to a small leopard tortoise, and a very large redfoot? Also, do I need any special clippers? I know most people go to the vet to get this done, but I took these two on rescue, and I do all the maintenance on my other animals. Thanks.
Chris,i have trimmed several beaks...i use a Fiscars soft grip scissors(very carefully), and then a good nail file to smooth it out. I'm sure any good sharp scissors will do,but make sure it's fairly heavy duty,and trim a little at a time.Good Luck,it's easier than you think!
