I cut my budgies claws by outting him on his cage and putting my hand in his cage and cutting them. Or you can put the budgie on your finger and try it that way. To cut a budgies claws you can use a standard nail clipper. You can also Buy this paper-like stuff that goes over the perch your budgie stands on.This is what I use.

Answer 3

When cutting a beared dragons nails your want to cut only a little at a time. Just cut enough where the nail is dull. You dont want to cut it to far down because that would make the dragon uncomfitable and you might clip a vein and it will start bleeding. To stop the bleeding use flour or baking soda

After cutting the nails you can use a nail filler to smooth away jagged edges.
