It can be slow progress over a few goes! but they can keep very still for long enough to snip the odd nail at the very tip. I use little nail scissors. Anything is fine - whatever you find easiest! There's also the grid/sieve option where you put them in/on something with a mesh floor - their nails pop through and you can snip them from underneath. I haven't tried that option.
Yeah it looks like my best bet is food! I never thought of porridge though, that’s a good idea. I’ve also got little nail scissors too. Thanks for your help! I’ll be giving it a go tonight. Wish me luck lol
