A rabbit's nails grow continuously, much like human nails, and need regular trimming to prevent them from becoming overgrown. Overgrown nails can cause pain, make it difficult for your rabbit to walk properly, lead to foot sores (pododermatitis), and even break off, causing bleeding. Generally, most rabbits need their nails trimmed every 4-6 weeks, but the exact frequency can depend on their activity level and individual growth rate. If you're unsure how to trim them safely, it's best to have a veterinarian or a vet technician demonstrate the proper technique to avoid cutting into the quick, which is painful and causes bleeding. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
