Kel and Binkie from VA :)

Hi, Im Kel and my Bunny is Binkie.
Binkie is a mini rex and is now 13 weeks old.
When I first got Binkie, I used to handle her all the time, then she started acting all crazy so I kinda stopped, but now the time has come where her nails need trimming, and I am having problems doing it, as she wont let me pick her up!! I tried wrapping her in a towel, but she panicked and just jumped right out, I try to pick her up everyday to get her used to it, but it doesn't seem to be working.... Any ideas??

Get someone else to hold her while you do the clipping. She's got to learn to tolerate a degree of handling--another pair of hands is indispensable.

I tried that with my husband, but I could tell he wasnt comfortable doing it, will just have to keep trying, I managed to cut her front nails while she was laying down, just the back ones that need trimming now, but they dont look too bad at the moment, thanks for your reply

I would like to welcome you to Rabbits Online, my name is Dave and I am a moderator on the forum. So if I can be of any help please let me know. This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad you’re here and I know you will enjoy it.

Many bunnies’ recommend their slaves to this site so we may learn of others methods to keeping our furry masters happy.

If you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

Here are somelinks I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*The House Rabbit Society has a lot of good information on what veggies are safe for bunny’s, etc.

*Here is a link to learn what your furry master is trying to say to you How to Understand Your Bunny's Language

*Rabbits Online also has regional forums , this a good way to find a vet in your area that has experience with rabbits and to find out from other nearby of good sources of rabbit supplies.

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How to Bond with Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.
