Default claws too long

I've noticed that Boo Bear's claws seem to be quite long. Is there anything I can put in his cage that is safe for him that he can use to wear them down a bit?

Willows got sand to dig in to help keep them down, & the mineral blocks she's removed from their wires are there for her to walk ok too - it seems to be helping

We give them garden ornaments. If he climbs then most terracotta climbing stuff will help a bit, and for Scamp we have a large sheep and just scatter her food on it. Its stone and concrete and in theory wears her claws down every time she goes up onto it

Sand, stones, plantpots... Anything slightly rough should help.

He's a real climber so that might work, thanks
