You can, just not too much, especially when it is close to winter, and I would recomend brushing him with an old toothbrush afterwards, you could also wet the tooth brush as well to wash him off and if you cut his fur, make sure you don't do it more than once a month!

∙ 14y agoi think that you better not because you may unknowingly cut the hamsters skin and the hamster will bite you. also, the hamster may die if the wound is too deep. better not trim a hamster's nails. just let it be.

∙ 13y agoNo this is not a good idea. Hamsters don't need trimming and this sort of hamster doesn't have particular long hair. The chances are you will cut the hamster.
-I agree, long-haired hamsters would be the type most likely to need a trim per Vet's professional opinion.

∙ 13y agoDefinitely not! Hamsters are so small that if you try cutting their fur you could cut them which could lead to death. Also this could traumatize them and they could develop wet tail, a fatal disease which is caused by stress.

∙ 11y agoNo. Long haired Syrian hamsters (aka teddy bear hamsters, and a few other nicknames) do not need haircuts. and since the creatures have to constantly move around, it is probably not wise to try it. You could cut them! Not to mention that holding them still for too long will stress them out and too much daily stress can lead to an illness in a hamster that leads to death. (not saying one haircut will kill your pet, just that stressing them out is bad :3) The only thing you are recommended to do with a long-haired syrian hamster is to brush their coats every once in a while. (they will groom themselves often, but their coats can get matted easily) Using a clean toothbrush and giving them a weekly brush is best. This can be done without holding down your pet. They need not be extremely still for this. :)

∙ 14y agoDon't even try. The hamster might do it by her/him self. You may hurt your hamster so don't even take the chance
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt might be a good idea sometimes to trim the 'skirt' of a long-haired hamster, as cage debris like sawdust tends to get stuck in it.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoDon't do that. It is not like a beard or mustache that has to be trimmed. They are part of the hamster's body, and they help him to determine if he can fit into one space or another.
