I found a wonderful product for clipping ferret nails and I have been using it for 2 years on my three ferrets. It is a pair of snips sold by testors model products for cuttung plastic model cars and airplane parts out of teir packaging. Most department stores seem to carry them and they are easy to sharpen and are very easy to handle. I tried using cat clippers but I could never get them linedup easily enough. Then I tried the part clipers and it did wonderful. You should be able to find them in the toy department of Fredmeyers, K-mart or other major chains. Another helpful hint is to spread ferratone across their belly and then while they are to busy licking the ferratone you get their nails clipped. I usely do this before bathtime because they end up with a sticky belly afterward. That hint was from our old vet back in fairbanks ant the Mount Mckinely Animal Hospital of Alaska. Trust me it does wonders. See Ya Leonard [Posted in FML issue 2341]
