Nail bitting.

[xxDanish]

I'm not too sure if this is in the correct place, but my rabbit has been bitting his nails an awful lot. It started this morning, and I thought his nails were too long, so I trimmed them a bit. But tonight when I went to check up on him, I saw two more nails had been bit. I'm guessing it's stress (since I know birds tend to pluck their feathers when stressed, I figured it might be the case) yet I'm still really worried.

Any advice?

Does he have other things to chew on: sticks for example?

 

[xxDanish]

No not at the moment. He had some apple flavored ones and they got thrown out accidentally when his cage was cleaned.

I'd go buy more.

Yep, I agree with Orlena.. he needs to chew and if he has nothing to chew I guess he resorted to chewing nails. I'd def recommend you go out and get buddy some chewing toys or something. Good luck!

Also, wood branches from apple or willow are good. My buns love cardboard boxes and paper rolls from towels and toilet paper.

You could fill the toilet paper rolls or towel rolls with some hay to make it more exciting.
