Ouch! I've clipped those on my fingers, fiddling around, and it hurts!!

I clip my ferrets' nails a bit different from those who posted. I don't
like icky, sticky stuff on their bellies. What I do is put Nutrical,
Laxatone, or something similar, on my left hand (I'm right-handed),
kinda between the base of my thumb and wrist. I put the ferret in my
lap, facing outward, and they will turn their heads and lick the
Nutrical off my hand while I clip. I have rarely had a ferret who
didn't like Nutrical. If I'm not mistaken, credit for that technique
goes to Jackie Hawley.
