Hamster grooming is mainly aimed at long-haired hamsters. Short-haired hamsters do not need to be groomed. Therefore, it is not always necessary depending on the type of hamster you have. Short-haired Syrians and Campbells do not need to be combed but long hair Syrians will require combing.
Not only do you have to comb long-haired Syrian hamsters but you have to clip their nails if they get too long. Your vet should do this but if you are extremely careful then you can buy scissors off of Amazon or Pet at Home.
