Do Hamster's Nails Need to be Trimmed?
Hello! I'm sorry if this is not in the right place, but I thought it was. Anyway, do hamster's nails need to be trimmed? I've noticed my hammy's nails are getting a little long, but do they need to be trimmed, or do you just let them grow? Thank you!

You don't have to trim them, but if they are getting a little bit long you could try putting some rocks/stones in your hamster cage. Just make sure you sterilise them first. Or if you have a hard tile floor in your home you could also let them walk across that when/if you let them free roam. Works perfectly on my hamsters.

Okay, thank you! I do not let my hamster free roam (even though she wants to - she just CRAVES time out of her cage) because she is so fast and she hates being held so I'm afraid she'll get lost. I love her so much and we have two cats so that wouldn't end very well if she got out....

Re: Do Hamster's Nails Need to be Trimmed?
Some hamsters, particularly Winter Whites and Campbells seem to need their nails trimming moreso than Syrians. If they did need doing and you were a little bit worried on how to do it, most vets are able to trim them for you or show you how best to trim them yourself.
