Thank you to everyone for the responses to my frightened ferret post.
They were great.  I need advice again.  (I'm a worrier; what can I say)
My problem is this: I have a hard time clipping the kids' nails.  I know
to stay away from the quick (the pink part) of the nail and that they
need to be trimmed quite frequently.  I hate doing it.  Sometime they
yelp when I cut even though I am not clipping too deep.  Is that normal?
Am I doing it wrong?  I use the clippers made specifically for ferrets
with the rounded tip.  Is it possible it could be dull?  When I took
them to the vet for a check up the vet did it so quick and there wasn't
a peep from my fuzzies.  I have to do it in a couple days.  Any advice
would be great.
