My bunny's a little darling and let me do this to him first time. I was very surprised! Didn't make a fuss or anything while I clipped his nails. I guess I've been pretty used to rebellious pets for so long he's like a saint compared to my other animals.

I do that to my bunny almost everyday :D he loves it so much he would snooze off to sleep every time I cradle him like that xD It's probably because I've cradled him since he was still a baby bunny, he loves it up until now :)

@fannymanson : great observation and very true. Thanks for your input! G.

I believe it's totally true that bunnies feel more secure when held firmly. I can actually see a change in the expression of their eyes when they aren't feeling safe in the way they are being held. Plus they become more squirmy or look for an escape route if they don't trust that you have a safe hold of them.

I did see the nail trim video. But my bunnies get away from me soooo quickly, I cant even get a proper grip on them. It's like, they just "KNOW" whats coming LOL! But thanks for the treat tip, i'll give that a shot :)
Thanks, and he was not even mine. The owner came for a handling lesson 'cause he was so unruly.

My bunnies flip out if even attempting to pick them up.. they'll book it! I have to trick them into their carrying cage when it's "vet time." I hate taking them to the vet to get their nails trimmed, it's expensive!

Did you see my How to Pick Up a Rabbit vid? There's tips in the comments of that vid.
There is also two how to trim nails vids.
The key to picking up is treats for the bunnies (daily - gradually) and sweatshirt for you.

Of course, we show rabbits so we do it all the time. If you do it properly it is safe for their backs, there just needs to be proper support.

I wish my dwarf bunnie would do that..Instead we both up and breathless from the wrestling and call it a day. (Yeah, she kicks my butt)
