Degus with long teeth

1 of my Degu has very long front teeth (compared to the other...I'd
say around 0.5 cm vs 0.2 cm).
He can still eat normally...But I wonder if I should do something
about it...I heard about clipping them with a regular nail clipper.
Anyone has done this before on a rodent ?
Euh

I have the body of a god... Buddha

Usually its very easy to prevent this. just give them enough stuff to gnaw
on. pine is good. just pop it in the oven for a little while too heat it up
and sanitize it.
As for the clipping, it is always smart to go to the vet to let him do it
the first time, let him show you, if you do it wrong their teeth can get
pretty screwed up.
