Clipping Muscovies

[fisharescary]

I'm sorry, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the thread.
Do you have to clip Muscovies' nails? If it's not strictly necessary, then is it ok to do for the sake of more comfortable handling, or a bad idea? Would you just use a pair of cat/dog nail clippers, human clippers, or what?

I'm glad you asked that question. I don't have an answer but I want to know too

You can clip them, i am sure it wouldn't be a fun process with just 1 person though. you HAVE to be very careful not to clip too far also, just like when clipping a dogs nail, you don't wanna cut into the quick and cause bleeding.

I just make sure to wear a sweatshirt when i have to handle mine, but i only have a few girls that hate being handled. One of my older girls hangs out on my shoulder sometimes
