Usually a hamster will not need its claws cutting. It is defiantly advisable to take the hamster to the vets if you think they need cutting. When they are cut they should be cut just above where the pink of the hamsters skin ends. This should defiantly not be done with out the correct equipment as it can be very painful for the hamster if he is cut down to his skin. The claw is too long if it curls round.

Is there a job where you clip hamsters nails?

There is indeed, it is called a vetenary nurse! Normally if an owner is concerned about the length of their pets claws then they will take them to the vets to get them cliped as there is a point on the nails that if you cut past will cause the hamster to bleed, maybe even to death. Therefore there is not a special job where all you do is clip hamsters nails, however this and many other jobs are part of being a vetenary nurse (an assistant to a vet)
