#dwarfs usually wear theirs down naturally on rough surfaces

[idledoll]

Both of the hamsters' nails have been looking extremely long lately, so I've been steeling myself to cut them (I'd like to at least give it a go before having to take them to the vets).

I just pulled Egg out of her cage after getting everything ready, scruffed her and flipped her over...only to find her nails are the perfect length. Suddenly. Somehow.

I guess she got tired of them being long and decided to bite them a bit shorter? Who knows, who cares, I'm just glad I don't have to trim them because wow was I dreading it.

Now I just have to wait for Bathrick to wake up and then it's his turn. His nails are way worse -- I have no idea why he doesn't wear his down like hamsters are supposed to -- so I doubt I'll be granted clemency twice. Wish me luck.
