>So im posting to ask if anyone has any good ideas to help with nail >clipping time (btw i live in australia where there are no products like >ferretone) The ferretone trick never worked for us (2 of our 3 don't like and won't touch ferretone). So nail trimming was always hard until our vet gave us a great idea that works like a charm for our guys: one of us scruffs them, holding them in the air while the other clips. Then we give them a treat. It still takes two people, but it goes extremely quick. Two of them have never given us a problem this way, but Sterling would wiggle & pull back his paws at first. After a few times though, he figured out this routine meant he was about to get a treat so he would hold still & endure it. >and i would be interested to know how often other people cut there >ferrets nails and how long you consider "long" nails to be. We have to trim them about once every 1 1/2 weeks. We trim them when they get longer than about 3/8 of an inch. (about 1/2 a centimeter.) [Posted in FML issue 3570]
