Proper nail care for a healthy rodent.
Nails that grow too long can cause pain and problems for rodents. They can grow into the skin, get caught in bedding, or even affect their natural posture and gait. Regular nail trimming and care is therefore essential for the good health of your rodent.
For which animals is nail care important?
Whether you have a rabbit, guinea pig, hamster, rat or ferret, nail care is essential. Especially in animals that don't walk on hard surfaces, the nails hardly wear down naturally. In that case, special nail clippers or a file are not a luxury.

Easy and safe cutting.
At Fidello you'll find nail clippers and files specifically designed for small animals. For example, choose a curved clipper with a non-slip handle for extra grip and control. Some grooming sets combine nail tools with brushes, making the grooming experience complete. When cutting, pay close attention to the "quick" in the nail: you must not touch this pink part. If in doubt, you can also visit a grooming salon or veterinarian. Don't forget to provide your rodent with a good resting place; check here to see what you need.
