Where should you clip your rabbits nails?
Hello Get some good quality animal nail clippers. Get your rabbit and lay it on its back in your arms. Have a second person to clip the nails, or you can do it if the other person holds the rabbit. You need to clip them avoiding the quick of the nail. Depending on the colour of the rabbits nails this will be quite easy to see. Be careful not to cut the quick as this could cause pain and some bleeding. If you're afraid of hurting him (i would be), take him to the vet and they can do it for you.
