nail clippers

[TEAM KART]

Looking for a good source for rabbit nailclippers. Our bunnies had their nails cliped the day wepicked them up, but in a few weeks they will need to be trimmed again.

What are our options for clippers and also, the breeder recomended apowdery container of "something" (she told us but I forgot) that youcould put on the bunnies nail to stop the bleeding if you clip it tofar.

Thanks

For clippers, you could use cat or dogclippers...they are at any pet store. The powder is calledKwiq Stop (hope I spelled that right).

The powder is styptic powder. I've seen several different brand names of it. I just use flour.

This is the kind of nail clipper I use. It's made for cats, but a similar small dog one will work well too.
