Ok, my hamster has REALLY LONG nails. I don't want them to get longer!! Can I get them trimmed and if yes where??
Answers:
you can trim them your self with baby fingernail clippers, it is much easier to do if you hamster is a serian hamster because usually they will sit still long enough for you to do this
if you have a dwarf, or a very squirmy serian, then you can put very fine sandpaper in their wheel for about 30 minutes each night until they are trimmed down low
if you cant do either of these, your vet could do it for you, but you would have to pay for it
i have 2 dwarf hamsters and 1 serian, and have had to trim all their nails, i can usually get it done with fingernail clippers, but the sandpaper does work
You can trim them yourself with a cat nail clipper--remember to cut ONLY the tips.
You can also get them done at the vet's office for a couple bucks.
You can't do them. The hamster bites at them when they get to a certain length.
u could do it yourself if you are care full enough with clippers there are not any places i know of that would clip hamsters lol i do all the clippings myself i have 9 gerbils good luck
Yes you can get them trimmed, but never attempt this yourself. You should only ever let a vet do this for you. There should only be a small charge for this.
you can get them trimmed at the vet! But you can do it yourself but i would go with a vet because they know what they are doin! Good luck!!
Try using an emery board or electic nail file. We use those for rats. If in my area I do it for $1 donation.
you shouldn't cut a hamsters nails be live me they will bite hard
I wouldn't cut them yourself because it is extremely difficult %26 in some cases dangerous because the blood vessels come down quite a long way into the claws and you could snip a blood vessel %26 a hamster is a very small animal so a lot of its blood can be lost in a short space of time!
I'd leave this one to the vet %26 when your hammie is there he can have a quick check up too!
Hope this helps x x x x x x
well...i have a rabbit, and if u trim ur hampsters nail, only trim up to the part of the nail that is kinda pink, and u should file them after, because the r jagged
i dont know anything about hamsters but it would be cool to let its nails get soooooooooooooooo long that you can get him into the world record books
my hamster's nails needed to be trimmed by a proffesional. take your hamster to petsmart or petco and they usually have someon ethat will do it for free in like 10 seconds
