I agree with Luna and also believe that a vet visit is not as stressful for a hamster as people think.

The only way i can trim a hamster's nails, even just one at a time, clean a scent gland, check teeth etc is by swaddling them in a towel.
I've tried scissors from the pet shop which were no good but very small clippers like the ones used for babies do the job.
