Question
When is the time that you cut your hamsters nails. i think my hamsters nails is pretty long.

Answer
Hi Faith,

    When you feel the nails are too long, then it is time to cut them. This works better if there are 2 people, one to hold the hamster and the other to do the cutting. It is also best to use baby nail clippers for this and be careful not to clip their padding on their feet.
