This is for Debbie, Hi, I have 7 ferrets ranging in age from 5 years to 7mo. I have found the easiest trick for trimming nails is to hold them in your lap on their backs, place a few drops of Ferretone on their tummies and let them lick away, while they are in this zone you can trim their nails at free will. =) This works great for all of mine, good luck with yours. This also cuts a two people job down to just one! And also turns it into a not so tramitizing experience as holding the scruff of their necks or wrapping them in a towel. =) Good Luck Dot =) Powder, Sweetie, Sabe, Pain, Panic, Dart & Lil Bit. =) ICQ# 17802163 email: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2860]
