Yes, Do not, under any circumstances, cut their nails, as they hold vital nerves which, if damaged, can be seriously life threatening. It varies from hamster to hamster, but every week or month, you may be able to find them sitting in their 'pee patch' biting their nails. It may not seem like they are doing a good job, but its better than cutting them for them.

What do you do when dwarf hamsters fight each other?
Most likely, they are fighting for territory, so separate them and scrub your cage really well and replace the water and food so they think the place is new. If they are old and their claws are sharp, then make them walk on a rough brick or sandpaper so their claws are not as sharp. Your hamsters probably wont fight each other anymore..... Unless the really hate each other that much... P.s. This also works for other kinds of hamsters. :d

Does a cat retract its claws when it wants to play?
Not always. A cat's claws are usually retracted, but it extends its claws whenever it wants to use them, whether in play or for business (climbing things, holding on to things, scratching itself, getting off to a running start, and so forth). For a cat, claws are very much like fingers for humans; they add to the amount of control the cat has over his environment and his ability to manipulate things, and he will use them when he is playing if he wants to control the toy.
