Guest lavyheed Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well ive heard of people who keep them as pets cut nails but also groom, brush and shampoo. But they live in a house and dont go mining. My ferrets go into college to get bathed by students, it's good because they get socialised and much more handled they also love it but end up smelling worst. JoeD Don't get them washed too often mate, it can take all their natural oils out of their coat. Quote Link to post
para1 11 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 to not keep an eye on the ferrets nails (especially the fronts) can be detrimental to there working ability as exessive growth can stop them putting there feet down properly and so affect there movement, even if you dont clip there nails its still advisable to check them regularly. and you dont need to keep them un-trimmed for "scrapping" as stated above. I'm sure you are right mate but only had to clip a nail once in 50 odd years and that was cause one broke. When a good ferret comes across a rabbit in a block end it claws become blocked with fur very quickly if they are short so can't get over its back to turn it to make it bolt. I can't help but wonder who clips a Fox's or stoats nails ? P1 Quote Link to post
