Llamas have two toe nails on each foot. Their nails constantly grow. If you live in a wet climate, or if your animals are on soft ground, their nails will need to be cut 3 or 4 times a year. This can be a chore but left unattended the nails will curl and cause serious injury. You will need a pair of straight garden clippers. Trim along the sides, and a little bit of the tip. If you trim too much you may draw blood. Ease back a little. The challenge to trimming toes is desensitizing your llama to having their foot picked up. This is where a chute comes in very handy. If you do not have access to a chute then you must put the time into desensitizing your llama. If not then every time it is trimming time you will have a wrestling match with your llama and that is not good for building trust with your llama or you just ignore trimming and eventually your llama can go lame.
