Young crabs? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nippers

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'young' is the first definition.

'crabs?' is the second definition.
(animals which might nip with their claws)

(Other definitions for nippers that I've seen before include "pickpockets" , "They put the squeeze on" , "Claws; children" , "Small children" , "kids?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Telegraph.
