Do you find they get their harnesses dirty at work or perhaps do they ever chip their nail varnish? Get the collar so its end is already through the buckle then slip it over the ferrets head and fasten up accordingly whilst holding the stinker firmly. Most stop fecking about when they know their getting it put on so they can go out HUNTING. Quote Link to post
