Hi all, I have only had my hammy for about a week but i noticed one of his paws has a finger that has a black nailbed. the nails are a bit long, but I havent had time (nor the guts) to trim them myself or get him a brick to file them down. He shows no signs of limping, and because of how fidgety he is (probably because hes only been with me for a week) I cant really get a good look at his finger. He runs on his wheel just fine, and has no problems with walking, but i am still pretty worried. I have never trimmed his nails before, so i have no idea what it could be. Please help! im a new hamster owner and im really scared of messing up ):
