I was just wondering have you always cut the nails of every hamster as they got older? Or do only some need it. I have really shaky hands and I think if I was to try I might accidentally cut a foot off! Also if Mitzi did end up needing them done in a future could I get a vet to do it and how much would they charge for that?

Not all hamsters grow long nails. Rory is nearly 2 and has perfect nails.
Yes, a vet can cut them. A friend paid £30 for her Robo's pedicure with a little sedation (gas).
