Im fairly sure I saw a post on here somewhere with details of smallish battery clippers. I cant remember the make or any more details but they were (very!) cheap and looked suitable for my purposes. Anyone ....???!!!!!
Yep, I bought some after reading that thread and they have been just great for the shetland who has looked far more presentable without sweaty bits. Gone through very hairy coat like a dream. Just search the forums and the thread should come up. Only about £15, really are for dogs I think.
