Hi, I joined because i need some help..today i was trying to clip my hedgehogs nails like usual and i went to cut one on his back foot and he moved and i nicked it too close and he bled a little bit..it wasnt a lot but i am worried..is there anything i should do for him? i have run his toe under some cold water and rinsed it for now but i wanted to get advice before doing anything else thank you...
It should be fine, I am sure we have all done the exact same thing. If it continues to bleed, you can dip it in a bit of flour or cornstarch. Keep the foot as clean as possible for a couple of days, and watch for redness or swelling that could mean possible infection, but otherwise you should be fine. Welcome to hedgehogworld!

Ouch, I did this two nights ago to my little guy Little wriggly worm while trying to trim his nails! I use the cornstarch too if it doesn't stop bleeding in a minute.
Your little one should be ok and welcome to the forum!

They like to move when I am trying to trim their nails.
