Clipping a crazy bunnies nails!!! Help!

[NeonToeNails]

Dandy doesn't like to be held or picked up at all. She is extremely tame and she loves human contact but she doesn't like for you to even try to pick her up or hold her. I try to clip her nails when she is stretched out on the ground but when I touch her back feet she flips out. How do I clip her nails without her freaking out and bucking and hurting herself.

I have the same problem. I just take Buster to the vet, because it saves me a LOT of stress... and heart ache (I hate seeing him freaking out and running around!) It costs me $17 at my vet which is quite a bit, but I go about every 6 weeks. It's definitely worth it.

We haven't tried with Lupa but I know we'd have the same issue lol. She does not like her feet touched at all. Her nails are also really dark so I can't really see where to cut so we will just be taking her to the vet to get her nails trimmed to. Ours is only $10 for about every 6 weeks

I must wrap Ellie in a towel, being held by my husband while I clip. She hates to be picked up or held - just like your Dandy.

Before I realized your bun was named Ellie, I was like what..? Why are you wrapping me in a towel?
How exactly do you go about getting them into a towel? Buster would freak out of I tried to pick him up, let alone let me wrap a towel around him..

I also read you can stick them into a sleeve of a baggy shirt - same kinda situation as the towel, but you'd have to pick them up for that to happen I'd assume.
