| curved or straight forceps? When you dock with the clamp and twist method what type of forceps do you use, the straight or curved. I was looking on revivals web sight and they have both and wanted to purchase the correct ones. Thanks Deb |

| Deb, i don't use forceps. It is hemostats that you use but I think that is what you meant. LOL I use straight ones. I'm not sure if you could cut the tail straight with the curved ones. |

| Do your hemostats clamp. When I look them up at revival they don't clamp only the forceps do, and do you need them to clamp? I would think so. I watched the video and thought that Iwould try to do the tails myself since I dont want to take the babies out to the vet. When the time arrives we will see if I still have the guts to do it. hahaha Thanks |

| yes, they do. I am a retired nurse and have never seen hemostats that don't clamp. That is the whole purpose of them . to clamp. I am going to revival and see what you are talking about. |
