sand paper fitted wheels. those will cause a higher level of friction to its nails while running, in other words while running, its nails will get shorter itself. that is if u cant trim it yourself. they range to RM50-70 for one, could get to RM100+ i wouldnt be surprised (branded ones) but the con is, u shouldnt put it in for the day, as in put in and let it run for a few hours then thats it. cus it might hurt its feet and cause much more bleeding than wheels w/o sand paper fitted.
TLDR;
-sand paper fitted wheels
-cant put in more than few hours must keep an eye for it while running
-a lil expensive, but alternative for holding the hog and trim its nails
-super budget alternative, dont cut, i havent cut my hog's since birth. they wont get super duper long but when it does u can cut it super easily

i use nail clipper to cut. the normal ones that we human use.
but if u have shaky hands, bad eye sight, no accuracy or no patience, suggest u buy the sand paper.
i will wait till my hedgie is relax on my palm, and the legs are dangling out, then only cut it.
i only cut the back legs. front leg is already nicely trimmed, probably from the digging.
if yours is super friendly, maybe you can trim it like the way a mum trims her baby's nails.
where can i get the wheeld with sand paper, i tried few pets shop. kinda big one but they say they not selling it.
only the back leg is mainly concern and is really long i must say. i scared it might break and cause bleeding one day.
bur 1 thing i notice, in within 2 weeks since i get my hedgie. his weight and size had growth alot than what i can expect.
fat is the thing now haha.
