Animals Vraag

REALLY URGENT: Sick hamster

Is there anyone who knows something about hamsters?
Please I really need help.

My hamster lost his upper tooth in December. Now the other upper tooth is too long, he can't eat.
Vets know nothing about hamsters (at least in my city).
I need to cut this tooth. My vraag to you:

Is it possible to do it without anesthesia? He's too weak for it.
Can I do it using surgeon's scissors of do vets use something else to do it?

Please help! ;(

The tooh was cut. Everything goes back to normal.

u should use a claw trimmer of even some sharp pliers. It doesn't hurt, hamsters' teeth are meer like claws. After a cut the tooth should have a shape of a chisel, like in this picture: link Good luck with your hamster ;)

my opinion is that u should get some nibblers for u hamster so he can chew on them to whittle his tooth down.
