The claws must be cut, because they push continuously and the ferret domesticates does not use them enough. One will carry out this intervention the every 2 to 4 weeks approximately, according to the wear of the claws. The cut will be done using a cut scratches for cat, but you can also do it using your cut nail. If you do not dare to do it, ask your veterinary surgeon to carry out it to show you how the operation is practised. The principle is simple, it is necessary to observe the claw, one sees a red vein, one should not especially notch it, but cross just below. If your ferret is not let make, you can try to make it when it sleeps or give him a delicacy, thus too occupied regaling itself, it will forget that you cut the claws to him.
