The easy way to clip a ferret's nail

[roxita92]

I was wondering if you can use a nail file to grind their nails. I really don't know, I don't have any experience with ferrets, thanks :)

what did u put on his belly to get his attention mine WILL NOT sit still

[jsc93]

@HisLittleStalker its called Ferretone, good luck! :P

[chlomachine]

this is incredible!! i use ferretone to distract them, but they lick it out the cap, so this is a way easier way to do it. i'd worry myself if i did it as quick as you, to cut too far down, but i can see after doing so many you're an expert :)

[bluetickchick]

Wow... who knew it could be so simple.. I never thought of that but it works... even on the most hyper ferrets!!!! Thanks for the idea!!!

[Kittywolf13]

wow i would never have thought of doing it that way. how cool! and i always find it amazing that they find that stuff irresistable!

thanks a bunch my ferret misu when her nails got long we tryed to cut them but she just wouldnt stay still or coaperate and we never after that got around to cutting them so her nails are VERY long and after seeing this im going to try again! thank you! now i dont have to really worry about being seriously scratched!

Heh.. after you cut 600 nails every two weeks, you start to get good at it. That's what sheltering does makes for loads of practice.

its not a race to see who can get it done the fastest be careful

[glittermoon123]

what the hell

[DanielleSarah7]

[BMRFILM]

really a good way, cuz i have to bring my ferret asleep first....

[Awiesha]

hahahhhah

[maytumblerbaby]

cool thank you so much. are those kind of clippers better then the nail clippers we use

[lbaran]

I think they are the easiest kind on the market. When you get to the 600 nails per clipping session, one quickly finds the best most effective product!

[lbaran]

Ferretone skin and coat supplement. Any ferret skin and coat product works well.90- 95% of ferret like it. Almost all major pet stores carry it.

what was that liqiud?

[dest28glo]

I just got a pair of ferrets about a month ago, I've fallen in love w/ them! But I did find if very difficult to cut their nails. So I can get this ferritone stuff at any pet store?? And I just apply it to their belly to keep them occupied, right?

[lbaran]

If you cut a ferret's nail short enough it won't touch the ground at all--at any angle. If you cut the nail so it is straight on the bottom, it will continue to be too long. AFA states 1/8th inch from the quick. The more you cut a ferret's nails, the more the quick recedes.

[philbertfwog]

looks like you cut nails at the wrong angle

[KindaKrunchy]

This is brilliant, I just used it on all 3 of my fuzzies and it worked perfectly!

[elementrisk]

you mean ferretone skin and coat suppliment?

[lbaran]

Yes, or you can use other brands of similar-type product.

[elementrisk]

[lonlon55]

[lovebug881]

Very smart, thanks so much <3

What did you use for him to lick up?

[lbaran]

Ferritone - most ferrets love it more than anything, and it's good for them - no sugar and helps their coat and skin.
