If you want things to help keep nails trim then a sand bath, rough textures like bendy bridges & cork will help a little, you can use granite slabs or tiles but these must be secure, on top of a house for example.

Ah, i see. i wanted it to keep er nails trim so i wouldn’t have to trim her nails myself (i’m dreading the day) i don’t really want the vets to do it as i’ve been trying to keep myself inside as much as possible cus of covid lol. i’ll try to find that sand, my country doesn’t really give us pet owners much of an option when it comes to buying for our pets (we don’t even have whimzees here!!) thank you so much for the reply
