Hamsters Claws

[Whisk_Luva]

We would take him to the vet of file them..... I dont want to hurt Whisk

[Whisk_Luva]

My hands are red and hurt from scratches..... he hasnt made me bleed, should I wait till then?

If they are curling over then they are to long. I would suggest going to a vet and having him or her showing you how to do it properly.

[Whisk_Luva]

Ok thanks, when he wakes up I will look! Yep we are deffo taking him to the vet when they get to long!

[Whisk_Luva]

Looks like its a trip to the vets soon

I think I hate the vets more then my pets do!!!

Nut and Egg have both had mites and Egg has had a tumor before (That meant vet trips )...

Vets always either bring bad news, unless its something minor like a clip of the nails etc. But even though it SHOULD just be a quick and easy visit I still hate it!

Good luck at the vets!
On question: does Whisk usually run on a wheel? I heard that the wheel keeps their nails trimmed down if the run on it often.

[Whisk_Luva]

He does....... lets just say... not the way most hamsters do!

Its in a corner so he climbs... ON TOP of the wheel resting his bottom on the bars and he will run... ON TOP of the wheel
