Hi,
 
For nail clipping, if I use a device designed for humans, I have found
that a baby nail clipper works the best for clipping ferret nails.  These
clippers are smaller than fingernail clippers and I find I have better
control.  They also clip the nails (ferrets and baby human ferrets alike)
more cleanly.  If you are interested, look in the baby stuff (cups,
silverware, bottles, etc.) section of Target or similar stores.  They are
wonderful!
