Default Re: Senior hamsters

This is a photo of Moo when I was doing his nails I had the teaspoon on top of a book in front of him to raise it slightly. You can just see his feet are firmly planted and he just ate it from the spoon and forgot about his feet. So (with my two pairs of glasses and good room lighting!) I could clearly see his toenails splayed out and just snip the odd one while he was eating. It was the Ella's kitchen strawberry porridge which he got very excited about and couldn't resist and was totally focused on it! Another time I did it with chicken baby food. I managed to do two on that session before he realised and pulled his leg away. Hope that helps. But if Rodney is too difficult then yes maybe the vet will need to do them. I do find they can get mesmerised by special food though! I watched a youtube video of someone doing it to get that idea!
