fishboi Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 nope, leave them as is if they have long nails its because they're male and they use this in the mating courtship. DO NOT cut their nails as they would bleed and its hard for them to heal any sort of cuts as they spend most of the time in water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 My little guy has just grown his front claws back after his girlfriend rejected his advances and bit 3 claws off each front leg. They are somewhat deformed and nowhere near as attractive as they were. He still behaves like Don Juan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
