Hello, looking for a bit of advice. My Syrian has historically always had short nails, he's now 2 years 3 months, and his nails on the front paws have gotten long and curly. He's always been a shy and skittish hamster, and given his age and the stress of a vet visit I am wondering whether it is best to take him to the vets to have them clipped or to leave him. They've gotten so long partly because of this dilemma. They are at the point where I want to get them clipped so he is comfortable, but still concerned it might be a bit too stressful for him.

He looks otherwise quite healthy.
