How do i keep my box turtle’s nails trimmed?

My box turtle’s nails are really long, and I don’t want to cut them because I don’t think I should. What should I do? Also what’s a good tank setup for a box turtle?

Thank you.

    Torts and turts, normally have long nails. For the most part, they never need trimming. I use a piece of slate and put flat size rocks in habitat to help keep their nails wore down. Care in captivity should mimic its natural habitat as much as possible.

    Goodluck Erica :)
