Trimming Your Pet Rabbit's Nails

Video Transcript

Hi my name is Sarah and this is Halibut, and I am one of the exotic technicians here at Extra Care Animal Hospital, and on behalf of Expert Village.com, I am going to provide you with some helpful information on owning a rabbit. As far as trimming your rabbit’s nails go, most people find that the easiest nail trimmers to use are the little cat nail trimmers available in most pet stores. And the easiest thing to do is just get your bunny on your lap where he or she feels comfortable, and you just get your little nail trimmers and trim just the white part of the nails. You want to stay away from the pink part, which is the quick, which is the blood supply and the nerves. Generally bunnies are pretty good about this. Some of them can be nervous, in which case you might want to get them used to it just by picking them up and just touching their feet. Not even trimming the nails, just once in a while pick them up and touch the feet. And over time, they will get used to having their feet handled. If you ever feel nervous about trimming your rabbits nails, you can always take your rabbit to your veterinarian’s office, and they will do the nail trim for you or they will show you how to do the nail trim.
