Clipping the Nails of Your Pet Ferret

Hi! My name is Fran Friedman and I'm with Morning Star Animal Sanctuary and I am here to talk about clipping ferret nails and scruffing them to do so on behalf of expert village.com I have a helper here and I am going to show him how to scruff. You just take the hair here with your thumb and your fingers so you are not using your nails and you hang him so you relax, oh he's so relaxed and then you get someone else, need the glasses? Who can make sure you can see properly. If you need glasses, put them on and thankfully for ferrets they all have white nails, not like dogs that sometimes have black nails. They are all easy to see, you can see the pink and you just clip away from the pink. You don't have to take a lot off if you are worried. Just leave them a little longer and do them a little more often. You don't want it to be a bad experience for them. You want them to remember as fun, right? Fun, 2 paws up. So that's how you do ferret nails, so we can go over here and do the other. They have to be done about every 2 weeks to keep them proper and you have to do the bottom ones as well because they do get quite pointy and you just take the tips off the bottoms, just the tips because they are very sensitive. That way they don't get stuck on any materials because a lot of people use towels which they tend to get stuck their little nails on. There you have a fully clipped ferret. He is all ready to go and he's been scruffed and he's enjoyed that because he's been calm and quiet and now he's all ready to play.
