I have read a lot about people having trouble keeping their ferrets still while clipping toenails. Many people have mentioned the difficulty they have scruffing their fuzzies and clipping at the same time. Here is another idea that has worked on all three of my ferrets and made ear-cleaning and toe-clipping much easier: Put a few drops of linatone on the belly of your fuzzy, direct his or her nose to the linatone, and then watch how easily your ferret complies with anything you want to do while busy licking away at the linatone. :) Someone taught me this tip at a show and I have been thankful ever since! Happy clipping! Renee, Frett & Sully [Posted in FML issue 1558]
