Yes, unless you walk them regularly on hard surfaces such as pavements - I did my ferrets' nails yesterday.

It's easiest if you have someone to help you. Get them to scruff the ferret, which ought to prevent them from wriggling, and use very sharp toenail clippers to clip off just the very tip of each claw (they need to be good quality sharp ones or they can split the claw). Make sure you don't cut the pink bit that you can see inside the nail known as the quick, as this has nerves and a blood supply - cutting it will cause the ferret a lot of pain.

If you've never done it before, try to find someone more experienced to show you how.
