That would have been abrupt, yeah! I will say that I am in a better position to move out with this junk cleared, if only because it means less junk to be cleared whenever I actually move out.

It's complicated, the claw thing. I don't see a single mention of it anywhere on the how-to site; they use their claws for climbing and other things, which might wear them down better naturally than what would happen with a hedgehog. In fact, if you can somehow get your hedgehog to run across a piece of slate, I've heard that's a way not to have to trim a hedgehog's claws so often either. But I never quite got Oona on board with that.
