Default Re: Dwarf nails

You should not allow the vet to knock your hammy out to cut his nails. Hamsters are very susceptable under anaesthetic and it should only be done in medical need. A friend recently lost hers after they did this to cut nails. I would really try and do it yourself. Even one nail a night means they are soon done. If you get someone to help and use cuticle trimmers or small nail scissors it is not so hard.
