Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Ferret
• Chin
• Ferretone
• Small Pet Nail Clippers
• And a handful of love

1. The first thing you want to do is find a comfortable way to sit down with your ferret.

2. Holding your little friend with two hands, stand him/her up close to you and fix his/her bottom to rest on your lap or belly. You should still be holding him/her under the front arms with one of your hands.

3. With your free hand, apply ferretone to your chin to distract the buddy, and clip with ease! Your ferret should be comfortably lying on your chest/belly, with limp limbs. Congratulations!

Tips & Warnings

• Apply ferretone in very small drops!
• You don't have to use your chin, lots of people use ferretone on their buddy's belly to distract them
• You can follow these steps in the order 1, 3, 2 with similar results.
