Not sure what i should do here. As some of you know Bijou & lemon were once attacked by Max the senegal. Lemon is doing great but the problem is Bijou. He nails are growing back all wrong and twisted and everything! She doesn't have the best grip with that foot but gets around fine but i'm just wondering if i should do anything about them. I'm going to try and clips the ones i can but not all can be clipped. I've given her a sandy perch and she is away from the flock due to Scaley face but its soon be gone.

Sorry i don't have pictures but i will get some once i gets my new camera.

It sound like the toe is damaged Enna , Im not sure you can fix it with out taking the nail off, a vet would do it , I would clip them if you can even take to them with a nail file .

Do her toes look normal - do they all sit right ? if not than thats the problem.
other than that I'm not sure how to help her .

WOW! The Back nail was kinda spyriled when i noticed how bad her toes were and today the nail is gone. I'm thinking maybe it got stuck and ripped off but either way it is gone and now its time to see if it will grow back normally. There is a little spot of blood but other then that the toe looks pretty darn good.
