What's with the tortoise nails?

Tortoise nail is a tool to tease turtles. It is usually made of metal, nail-shaped, sharp at one end and cylindrical at the other. The role of nails is to gently stimulate the turtle's back to attract the turtle's attention and reaction.

Tortoise is a cold-blooded animal, and its response to external stimuli is relatively slow. Nails can slightly stimulate the turtle's back, causing the turtle to be excited and active. Using teasing nails can make turtles more active, increase their exercise, and help keep turtles healthy.

Pay attention to the following points when using turtle-teasing nails:

1. Use your nails lightly, and don't over-stimulate the tortoise to avoid hurting it.

2. The time to use the nail should be properly controlled, and it should not be too long, so as not to cause excessive fatigue to the turtle.

Teasing the tortoise's nails is just a fun tool and should not be the main way of tortoise's daily life. Turtles also need enough space and a suitable environment to move freely.
