How often should I trim my rabbit's nails? They seem really long.

[]

Answer

Rabbit nails grow continuously and, if left untrimmed, can curl, grow into their paw pads, and cause pain, infection, or difficulty walking. The frequency of trimming depends on the individual rabbit's activity level and nail growth rate, but typically it's every 4-6 weeks. Look for a quick (the pink blood vessel inside the nail) and trim carefully to avoid it. If you're unsure or nervous, your vet or a groomer can demonstrate or perform the trimming. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
