Trimming your Dwarf rabbit’s nails can be a difficult task, but it is also a necessary task. You always want to make sure your rabbit’s nails are a reasonable length. Not too short that it causes pain, but not too long that the nails snag on things as they walk and hop about. If you think it’s time for your Dwarf to have its nails trimmed, bring out your rabbit nail trimmers and slowly trim the nails to a modest length. The best way to do this is to have a friend hold your rabbit. Next, examine your rabbit’s nails and identify the quick or vein in the nail. Trim to just above this vein. If you accidently trim to the vein it will bleed. Use styptic powder, corn starch or baking powder to stop the bleeding. If you’re not comfortable trimming your rabbit’s nails, schedule a trimming with your Happy Valley, OR veterinary clinic. Learn more here.
