Just did Peekaboo this weekend, Pester needs a hit on it now. For cutters I got a thingy-a-bob-what-cha-touch-it from the Ferret Store. Is like a pair of scissors with very short blades, the blades have a round cut out in them that allow the nail to be fully encapsulated on both sides as it cuts so the nail does not get crushed. It makes a perfect clip. Just be careful to not clip too far back to cause bleeding, pain and possible infection. These work fine for trimming my moustache and nasal hairs too. Just need a spray can of Ferret Still to keep the little guy from wriggling all over while you do this. Kodo was very good about this. He seemed to welcome this where his claws would grow so long he had to sit with his two front legs sticking WAY out in front of him to keep his long nails from bending the toe back. After clipping his nails he would sit in total wonder trying to figure out what I did to make his little paws so comfortable. He was such a good guy. They all are.
