Default Re: Hamster nails

Hi Skatergirl,

I put a terra cotta saucer in my hamster's cage and it seems to have helped wear down her nails. It's upside down and in an area of the cage where she has to step on it to move to/from a higher level.

Her nails weren't very long, though. If your hamster's nails become too long, this can be painful for the hamster so it might be a good idea to have them clipped this time by a veterinarian and then try the terra cotta to keep them short.

Other people here may have additional suggestions.
