Cody's toe nails are also rough and sometimes they just fall off. It is very hard to cut them and he hates every minute of it. Thanks goodness they don't grow very fast. They are super thick and grow into the sides of his toes also. His toe nail are also very, very tiny. I do not have to worry about his finger nails because he bites them very short. Does any one have any ideas on how I could get him to stop this nasty habit, he's been doing it for three years now.
