Rabbit nails grow continuously and need regular trimming to prevent overgrowth, which can lead to discomfort, splaying of the toes, or even injury. Generally, trimming every 4-6 weeks is appropriate, but it can vary by individual. To do it safely, use sharp, small animal nail clippers. Locate the 'quick,' which is the pink part containing blood vessels, and avoid cutting into it. If your rabbit has dark nails, use a flashlight from behind to see the quick. It's often easier with two people: one to hold the rabbit securely and one to trim. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
