This is how we SAFELY trim our girls’ nails! The most important thing is to be patient, kind, and gentle with them. This activity can be stressful and frustrating for the rat and the human, and coming back to it with a clear head is the best way to ensure success and safety when frustrated. It’s important to be force free with these little guys, they learn patterns really quickly and can be quite fragile, the last thing you want to do is make them feel unsafe in your presence. If your rat is very difficult to handle and severely needs a nail trim, I recommend getting in with a vet who can effectively restrain the rat (and then at least you won’t be the source of the trauma to them). -
