Would "peticure" work on rats?

I saw a commercial for it on tv. and I was wondering if it would work on rats. his nails are so long and they hurt. and I tried clipping them... but he didnt like being on his back so I could hold him still. and before I even pushed on the clippers hed start squeaking like he was in pain...
so yeah.

just wondering.

would 'peticure' work?

and for anyone who doesnt know what that is.

A- Google it

or if your too lazy

B- its a moterized nail file-y thingy. and they used it on cats and dogs... and they dont feel anything.
whatcha think?

would it work?

it probably would... I guess try it and if it sqirms or squeals or gives any signs that it hurts then stop.

Spending 30 dollars on a clipper seems a little extreme, personally, when a regular $1 nail clipper works just as well. I had pet rats for years, and while I understand it can be a little difficult to get them to sit still for a trim, with practice, it gets much easier.

Try bribing the rats with some peanut butter to keep them occupied while you trim. There's no need to flip them over onto their backs, either. Just gently sneak the clippers up under their feet.

Also, if they are squeaking when you clip, you might be cutting too far down. Make sure you are only clipping the very tip of the nail, the white area, and not any of the pink. If that's not the case, they're probably just reacting to the unusual sensation. They'll get used to it, no worries.

Enough preaching. To answer your question, this is from the Peticure website FAQ:

'Does it work for smaller animals such as ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits, turtles, etc.?

Yes, Peticure will work on all small animals.'

He's squealing because he's on his back...can you hold him so his front claws are kinda draped over your finger, and you can slip the clippers over the end? For his back claws you might get a friend to hold him, and then clip them...just take the tips...like you would on a cat, then maybe file them with an emory board.
