Two year old hamsters first vet visit

[Rmv1983]

My dwarf hamster Jasmine will be going to the vet for the first time in her life tomorrow. It's just for a nail trim, but I wonder how she will cope?

This is my hammy who lived for two months under my bed after escaping, stealing food from my chinchillas. She celebrated her 2nd birthday the 16th of December. I've had her since she was born.

I tried cutting her nails with my mom, but she bit my mom. Hard. Her nails are 1/4 inch long in places. This happened during her two months on the run. We cut her nails then, but apparently not short enough

She isn't very nice, it seems she has become grumpy in her old age. I'm also afraid of accidentlly cutting a toe off because she is so small.

Hi. Make sure you hold her for the vet (wrapped in something preferably so you don`t get a bite!) because some vets seem okay while handling but many drop hamsters or don`t respect them, so take matters in hand and let the vet see that you want to hold her and let the vet do the trimming. Actually say that you want to do the scruffing or holding. Hope everything goes well. x
