  Can I clip her nails? She’s 8 weeks..but her nails are incredibly sharp. I have already tried to restrain her so I can try clipping the very tips and she freaks out every time I put a blanket around her or pick her up. I’ve tried giving her a chew toy, burrito wrapping her, I even tried putting her on her back since she kept flailing all over and she still managed to get out of that. She’s not mad at me. She just sits next to me after that. She just doesn’t want to be handled. Does anyone have any advice to try? She loves being on my lap, she jumps onto me all the time but once I touch her paws, its a huge NO

  I take my boys to the vet every 3 months for a nail trim. Asriel flails if anyone but the vet picks him up, and I don’t have the kind of time it takes to fight with them. It’ll cost you maybe $15-20, but it’s worth it.
