Can we say that bearded dragons are too special and pampered that we have to be very specific and well-educated on how to trim their nails?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh yes, they surely are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Task isn\u2019t Over Yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood things happen to those who groom themselves and also their pets.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou just got done with learning how to trim a bearded dragon\u2019s nails, but if you are doing it for the very first time, this information is not enough for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need to know things in detail and we are going to provide you with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next thing that you need to learn is what are the tools used for trimming beaded dragon nails?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, it requires more than just a trimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the list:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Starting off with some treats, we know treats are not any kind of tool but they are surely required to begin with the process otherwise you might nit be able to calm your bearded dragon and win his trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t have any bearded dragon\u2019s treats available at home, go with his favorite food or fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cut them into pieces and keep them handy in case you have to feed them in between the trimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Rubbing alcohol. Why do you need this one?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Because your trimmer or cutter can have germs before and after chopping off the nails of your dragon. If it has your germs on it then it can be harmful for the beardo so you must clean the trimmer with rubbing alcohol before cutting his nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And after you are done, make sure to clean the trimmer again with some rubbing alcohol because a bearded dragon\u2019s nails carry a lot of bacteria and keeping the trimmer without cleaning it is not a very wise decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, you will also need a cotton pad of some tissue for the cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- A blanket or cloth. You know why you need this one, right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To cover your bearded dragon and help him calm down so that your attempt to groom his nails don\u2019t go in vain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using a thick blanket to cover the beardo and block any kind of light or sound reaching that makes him uncomfortable helps a lot in calming the anxious or jumpy bearded dragon. Also, don\u2019t keep him covered under the blanket for too long. His temperature will rise which is not good for the dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- And finally comes the main component of the whole operation, a nail trimmer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You can buy a special nail trimmer for a bearded dragon or you can use a normal human nail cutter. Dog or cat nail trimmers will also do the job perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can get these clippers either offline or online and whichever cutter you use, don\u2019t forget to disinfect it before and after using. All of the things mentioned above are literally present at our house all the time. So, it isn\u2019t a huge task anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blanket, a nail cutter, rubbing alcohol and if you own a bearded dragon then having their favorite snacks and treats is also obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, congrats that you don\u2019t have to rush to the market to buy anything just to cut the nails of your little monster. We know if you are an experienced pet owner, you might not need everything that is mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But keeping these essentials handy won\u2019t harm anyone as well since its better to be safe and prepared than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
