While you can technically use human nail clippers to trim your hedgehog's nails, it is not the ideal choice. Hedgehogs have small, delicate nails, and using clippers designed for humans might not provide the precision needed for such tiny nails. Instead, it's recommended to use a pair of small animal nail clippers or even cat nail clippers, which are designed for smaller claws and can help prevent splitting or crushing the nail.

Before you start, make sure to have some styptic powder on hand just in case you accidentally cut the nail too short and it starts to bleed. It's also a good idea to get your hedgehog accustomed to the process gradually. You can begin by handling their feet and letting them sniff the clippers before actually trimming their nails. This will help reduce stress for both you and your hedgehog during the process.

Always check the nails regularly; if you hear clicking sounds when your hedgehog walks, it might be time for a trim! Aim to trim the nails every 2-4 weeks, depending on how quickly they grow. Remember to be gentle and patient, as this will help create a positive experience for your hedgehog.
