[BCrro666]

5 to 6 weeks I will thanks.

[hemad1980]

very useful video thank you

[Steviefan6]

I can't tell where the quick is on my rabbit because he has black nails.

[poizon4]

@Steviefan6 You should still be able to see them. One trick you can try is to do it near a lamp and if you can't see it, hold it up to the light.

[juliennegrace]

me no like to spend 2 much moolah. nuh uhh

[babybunnyvscarrot]

what breed is that bunny? reply!!

[poizon4]

@babybunnyvscarrot Looks like a dutch to me.

[stromak]

Thank you! :) with your advice the rabbit was fine and we did it! :)) We were very careful and just cut the very ends, not to cut the area with blood supply. We just did it with our nail trimmers as we didnt have special ones and the rabbit didnt mind at all.

[sarahtantt]

dam my rabbit looks like this one so much!

[EngineGamers]

My rabbit wont sit still aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[ryanleomusic]

Hey, my buddy never gets picked up and hes a large Norwegian Mix, we don't pick him up and hes a house bunny

When we try to cut them he gets very upset and remains that way for several hours after.

What do you recommend?

[Tezy108]

[EmuSmithy]

[carapacegambit]

i want to cut my rabbit's nail so bad. i have scratches all over my arms and legs every time i let my rabbit loose on the sofa beside me. his nails aren't as sharp as my cat's nails but its way too pointy and it really hurts. and i have a problem with my rabbit. whenever my rabbit gets near my hair, he always eats it whenever he gets a chance. how do i stop it?

[carapacegambit]

all rabbits are cutest in their owner's eyes.

[bentricky]

Thankyou great video.

[meatisdeliciouse]

I love the way rabbits noses twitch, my rabbit is so soft behind the ears it's like a childs sckin, ooh. I love her so much and she is so beutiful. her fur is like silk only softer and she hase the most sleek body and beutiful eyes ever, she's gorgiouse.

[meatisdeliciouse]

Damn it, I have cut a claw off my bunny, now she hase a stump, I feel awful. I want to go back in time and not do it, poor rabbit. I HATE it ehen I have acidents with my rabbits' one I let the two rabbits together when I was a kid, and my sisters rabbit bit a chunk out of my rabbits ear. I wish these acidents would never happen, my bunny is beutiful, and I love her so much. I need to get her vacined soon, Ill get my sister to do it, and ill pay her for it.

[meatisdeliciouse]

I've just injured my rabbit trying to cut her bloody nails, she keep biteing me and scratching me, so I put on some thick clothes and tried to cut her nails, but all she does is struggle and figit, now I have just injured her and she's bleading, and no-one is around to ****ing help me ) :< I'm so sick of being scratched and bitten, it's all she does now. And I was told these rabbits are excelent pets, bite bite biter grrr, scratch bite grrr.

[commagirlrw]

your rabbit is so calm!

[stephanieguedea]

Well what if the bunny gets his nail caught on a floor board of a bedroom?Like It stop bleeding, it only bled for not even a minute.Still his nails have been cut before we got hima week ago.Should we cut that nail that got hurt?In case it keeps bothering him?If anyone has any advice, for my bunny,please help.

Thank you so much for uploading this vid.It was really safe, and it really does work on rabbits.If they are stubborn don't cut there nails, until there calm or sleepy.

[MishalMooreLover]

That rabbit looks very stressed by that moment. But over all it was a good instructional video.

[americoza]

The best way to calm it down is to fuck this shit up against the wall, what a useless pet.

[videoaddict459]

every video i see on here has CALM rabbits . . my rabbit HATES being held, how do I do this alone?? HELP

[Lizndax]

@videoaddict459 I just trimmed my rabbits' nails for the first time today. Making a bunny burrito saved my life! Not every rabbit likes being wrapped up in a towel though. Nina kicked and squirmed and it took a lot of petting to calm her down. At least the towel restricted her movement so that she couldn't wriggle out or scratch me to pieces (long-sleeved shirts are also a must). Binky, on the other hand was as good as gold. As always, it depends on the rabbit.

[videoaddict459]

@Lizndax Thanks...Its hard to get at her nails when shes wrapped in a burrito tho :S ..i eventually just made a homemade harness with two socks and hair elastics :P so she was secure and her front paws were accessible. I had to enlist a second person to help with the back ones, but i wish i had a better method i could use on my own

[eevelutionsfan]

love yr little bunny btw :) just want to ask... i hav 2 netherland dwarf rabbits and they both hav black nails. and im kinda afraid to cut them myself, (ive bought nail clippers) cause both there nails are black. its very very very hard to see "the quick" and i dont want to give my rabbit any pain if i accidently cut it. cause i basically cant see the quick. could someone pls reply with any advice plzzz!!!! i dont wanna hurt thumps and nibs!!! any advice that i get i will be truely grateful!!!!

[donyboy73]

[nerd11o]

awwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



[GingerDrewAndPeyton]

thank u for helping me my bunnies nails look and hurt so bad and won't be stabel but thanku

[ira0shasha]

my rabbit is so stubborn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MajinSpleen]

Your bunny looks exactly like mine! Except mine is a Netherland Dwarf so hes a lot smaller :D

[minh15]

My rabbits won't let me clip their nails! 

[WWEMicroRulez]

that bunny is sooo adorable!! owww :D

[zeldahopper]

how come you can use regular toe nail clippers?

[JessicaLover11]

@zeldahopper because our nails are flat and rabbit's are round so those nail clippers are specially made for animals.If you were to use regular nail clippers it could severely break your bunny's nails and cause him a lot of pain

[TrustNoFukah]

Im sorry I dont mean to be rude but I did have a laugh when I saw the look on your rabbits face when you pulled out the nail clippers lol

[TingTingsHere]

@TrustNoFukah haha! u're right! the moment she whips out the clipper, calm bunny starts wiggling, shows a bit white eye, and licks her shirt politely xD

[keenan150]

My rabbit hates getting his nails clipped... T_T But we're going to need to.

[shiftomnimega]

What a compliant rabbit. 

[sirujarze]

Ommggg im kissing the screen Dx bunny too cute!!!! x3

[PetFamily777]

Aloha?

[grabmygoobers]

@PetFamily777 it means hello in Hawaiian

[TrustNoFukah]

@PetFamily777

apparently it means hello and love in hawaiian

[narutoqueen40]

My rabbit doesn't sit still if i tried this. She also hates being picked up.

[Username1210709]

Tip for all of you: trance out your rabbit ( turn her over on her back and shell trance out although my rabbit struggles alot and they can easily snap their backs if they do so be careful. Next wrap them in a towel and for langostalobsterchica: take him to the vet and careful if they grow too much the hole toe will fall off with the nail!

[omglolsee]

im kinda scared to do this cuz my bunny gets scared of random stuff very easily and when i try to hold him with his back laying down he really freaks out

[langostalobsterchica]

I just got my rabbit and his nails are so long that his feet are actually in pain. i've heard that the quick will actually grow over time, so I'm afraid to cut his nails... and I can't tell where the quick is with a flashlight. Suggestions?

[Mrb1b2b3b4]

my bunny will not do that! she just runs away!

[theguitarhero3]

lmao at 0:16 bunny- "OH NO SNIP SNIP SHE KILL ME NOAW!"

[MsAnimalloverz]

so basicly half way? also i really want to get a lionhead dwarf do you know how they react to cutting nails? squrmish but do you think it is possible if we have 2 to 3 people? please reply :) thanx

[runescapek0ed]

Well, to all those who have trouble clipping their bunny's nails, you can choose to file them or take them out of the house in a harness to explore to wear their nails down. I also have a stubborn little bunny boy what doesn't like to have his nails trimmed but i still succeed! You just need more courage in doing so, goodluck!

[nudle19]

@runescapek0ed

whenever i trim my rabbit's nail, his heart beats so much, making me anxious myself. But ur right, courage is the way to go!!!

[PurpleCowsProduction]

my petstore doesnt supply the powder. and whenever i try to trim my bunny's nails, he goes bezerk and kicks. i am too nervous to try again because what if he kicks and i catch the quick?

[newcastlefan1994]

do i need those clippers and do i need that powder cos i only whana trim them not cut them complaetly reply asap

[najoelover]

well whaat if my rabbit is stubborn ? he wont stay still al all and if i do trim his nails, he wont even let me hold him if i do it!

[Lilian]

Hi, I just want to say a big thank you to Shannon for helping and giving me advice on how to pick up my two bunnies. Both of my bunnies used to struggle and try to escape everytime I wanna pick them up but now with Shannon's help both my husband and I can finally hold them in our arms.

Thank you Shannon

[FriendlyTails]

Thank you for your questions. It will be easier for me to reply with tips that will help you via email. All 28 of my rabbits stay still for nail trims, I can share how to accomplish this with your bunnies. Some of them never had much handling when I got them and were already several years old. Now they are very calm to handle and trim. Email me at the addy in my profile. Unfortunately I cannot post it in comments.

[mezzmrizeU]

She cannot post comments for some reason. Her email address is at the end of the video and posted on her profile. Email her for tips. They work!

[JessicaLover11]

@mezzmrizeU we heard her smart one

[BeZerker3000]

yeah I want to know how to have them so calm, my rabbit is so feisty I can barely grab a hold of him, the way I trim his nails when massaging him i cut the front ones. now the feet is where I have the most problem. he will not let me grab a hold of him.

[NobelNighthawk274]

My rabbits nails are long I want to cut them but I cant even hold them he jumps every where and wont stay still also will his nails be sharp do we have to file them ?

[chiraxchira]

how can you make them stay so still?

mines keeps moving when i try to pick it up

[FriendlyTails]

2 months is a good age to start. I'm sure they are quite sharp. A young bunny's nails can feel as sharp as needles. Just trim the very tips. Aloha - Dr. Shannon

[JaninaBaja]

Is there a age requirement for cutting Bunny nails? because ours is 2 months only

[apleiss]

Haha! This is awesome

[FriendlyTails]

Thank you for all the emails. I hope my tips have helped you and your bunny. With love, patience, commitment and consistency... your bunnies nails can be trimmed easily by yourself or with the help of someone holding them while you trim. ~^..^~

[zarrurer12]

@FriendlyTails my grandpa says i dont needto trimm the rabbits nail yet their very long. should i still cut them?

[JessicaLover11]

@zarrurer12 yes if you want to hold your rabbit without getting painful cuts when he wiggles,then yes
