joe14 98 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-De-Lux-Mini-Nail-Clippers-Dog-Cat-Ferret-/390358874502?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5ae333b986 I use the scissor type nail clippers, i find their best ones. The other ones tend to split the nails. Quote Link to post
ferret100 47 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I use human nail clippers, as long as they're sharp, works fine. Opposite to cutting human nails (horizontally), use the clippers vertically on the claws so it doesn't split them. Atb. Quote Link to post

Adam_Chuck 256 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 just wondering how far should you trim them.. just take the tips off? Quote Link to post
The one 8,593 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Easy to see how much to take off in a albino mate you can see the blood in the quick of the nail a lot harder in a ferret with coloured nails so if you unsure just take the tip off Quote Link to post
Plong 21 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Dont cut them too short, ferrets need long claws it's what they use to work rabbits. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 if you have an accident and clip too short and its bleeding dip the claw in potassium permanganate crystals it will clot striaght away, get it from any chemist Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,217 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 hard worked ferrets shouldnt need clipping mine have a concrete bottom in the court so that keeps there claws nice and short Not strictly true. As hard as they work, they don't necessarily run on concrete. Quote Link to post
