There’s a trick to trimming a ferrets nails, and it’s called distraction. We have to do with with our ferrets every two weeks or so. If we didn’t, their nails get like a raptors talons and can accidentally do so damage, or cause injury.
By letting them lick the tube of Furo-Vita, a ferret vitamin supplement, occupies them enough that you can safely trim their nails.. ☺
