Nail time

[Ivythelionhead]

Ivy my 1 year old lionhead hates to have her nails done and it's always a stressful time for her so I was wondering if there's any tricks or tips people can suggest or have used when clipping their bunnies nails. :love:

I sometimes put pellets or hay near them so they can eat It. Sometimes I take them to the vet so they can try and if they can't do it they put them under gas 😊

It's time for a clip for my buns too. One of my current buns is especially difficult -- even the rescue was surprised at how difficult. I use a towel to wrap her up like a burrito. I take one paw out at a time and clip that way. I reward after with a treat.

Most of my bunnies are good getting there nails clipped but I have one doe who is difficult and hates being handled.

For her, I wrap her up in the towel burrito and get my brother to hold her as I clip her nails. After the nails are all done, she gets to go have some fun on the grass in a playpen.

Vets and rescue groups will also clip rabbits nails and if you don't feel confident doing nail clipping yourself, taking your bun to the vet is probably the best option

Hope I helped! Good luck

Thanx guys, yea I think I'll try the towel wrapping thing cause taking Ivy to the vet is always stressful and I find it's easier to do it myself.
