Rabbits' nails grow continuously, and unlike dogs and cats, they don't wear down naturally, especially in indoor environments. Overgrown nails can cause discomfort, alter their gait, lead to pain, or even snag and break off, which can be very painful and cause bleeding. Generally, an indoor rabbit's nails should be trimmed every 4-6 weeks. It's important to use proper nail clippers and be careful not to cut into the 'quick,' which contains blood vessels and nerves.
