And clean those ears every month. Wax and oil builds up in them that adds to their scent.
Nails should be trimmed every two weeks or as needed...

For claws put a towel on your lap and have some Ferretone oil handy by your side. Put the
ferret on the back and show the oil, then put it on the belly. In case one startles be ready to
grab to prevent running off. The towel then keeps you from getting oiled. Once the ferret
is happily licking the oil from her or his own belly cut the claws.

Never cut below the red line within the nail because that will hurt and will bleed more than
you would expect.
