What's the easiest way to trim a rabbit's nails??

Breed is mini-lop, I heard there's a way to hold their hind legs to put them in a trance???What's the easiest way to trim a rabbit's nails??
Again! I use cat's nail trimmers. Normally my mother does the cutting and I hold (restrain) the rabbit. I hold the rabbit between the head and support the behind then set gently down on the grooming table belly face up. That way the other person can trim the nails without a problem. If the bunny jumps up that's ok. Be gentle and flip it over again.


When trimming the nails, try and watch the color of the nails. Normally a different shade color will indicate the blood line. Try to cut above that blood line so that everything is all good. Try to trim the nails about twice a month, or once a month. This will keep your rabbit happy, healthy, and will be easier to handle.What's the easiest way to trim a rabbit's nails??
Probably take it to the vet is the best way, but if you feel you should do it yourself here is how. First, hold the bunny on your lap. Simply lift up the foot and trim the nails. The easiest trimmers are cat nail trimmers. Never trim the pink part of the nail, as this will cause bleeding. If your bunny is not comfortable with you touching its feet, put it in the same position every day and touch its feet. Soon it will become comfortable with this and will be alright with you trimming its nails.
Take bunny to a pet shop or vet for the first trim and watch to see how it is done.


I get a friend to hold bunny (firmly) and I just clip his nails with nail clippers, make sure you DO NOT cut past the quick (pink part of nails) only ever cut the white part of nails. If you cut past the quick, they will bleed very badly.
Its really not that bad. First the easiest way is for one person to hold the rabbit, and one person to trim the nails. The person holding the rabbit should be someone he/she is comfortable around, and hold the rabbit with his paws down on one arm, and have your other hand cover his eyes ( i know it seems silly but it seems that it makes them squirm less). Make sure one foot at a time is not being held. Stroke his head and have the other person cut. Don't cut into the pink part of the nail. Anything below that line is fine. Theres no need to take your rabbit to the vet. it's safe and painless for the rabbit.





PS: if his nail starts to bleed, put some flour on it. It will sting a little for your rabbit but it will stop the bleeding instantly.
Please visit the American Rabbit Breeders Association website for answers to your question. I would find a local breeder and have them show you how to do it. It is not hard to do yourself. It does not have to be done professionally if you learn to do it from a professional! Hope this helps. Tiffanie
, take it to the vets, have it done professionally, better to pay small amount than cause an infection.
I agree with Betty
