Re: Are your hamster's nails too long?
Just saw this thread and I was considering buying a wheel a while back online that had patches of emery paper glued onto the running track. It was intended for sugar gliders but I wondered if that would be a good thing for a hamster. I was afraid it would be too rough on their feet!

Re: Are your hamster's nails too long?

Sand trays are what i find most effective

Re: Are your hamster's nails too long?
how deep does it need to be? and does it matter what kind of sand?

Re: Are your hamster's nails too long?
well it depends what container you use, like you could use something like an ice cream tub for a big group like the snowteds. Or just a small cardboard/plastic tray for one ham.
Sand that isn't dusty should be used, like charlie chinchilla sand
It can be as full as you want i guess

Re: Are your hamster's nails too long?
Ive got these little sticky emery board things and i was wondering if i stuck them to the platform on harleys cage, when he walked over them would they wear down his nails? Cause they're really long but i dont really want to take him to get them clipped unless i really have to (he's quite squirmy and wouldnt stay still). Or would these be dangerous?
