Ok my rabbit Spooky is not like any bunny. But to make a long story short, the little bugger loves to be hugged but not put on his back. He also hates it if I take one of his rabbity paws and start to cut his nails that way. What the heck am I supposed to do? My boyfriend is willing to help out because I know it will be a two person job. I have treats for Spooky afterwards but does anyone have any ideas or stories with their rabbits?How to cut my rabbit's nails?
If you trim your pet's nails, be very careful that you NEVER cut too short.
Never cut too close to the pink you can see inside of a clear nail. Black nails are more difficult to cut because you can't see the pink part inside the nail. I can tell you how but it is a much longer explanation.
- If you cut the nail too short, you will be cutting into the 'quick' and the nail will bleed. It is difficult to stop the bleeding from the quick (not to mention, very painful to the animal).
- You should purchase silver nitrate sticks from a pet store or vet. There is also a container full of silver nitrate powder you can purchase.
- If you cut the nail too short and it starts to bleed, either place the stick to the bleeding nail or dip the nail in the powder.
- If you don't have any silver nitrate, a very helpful (but less effective) tool is flour (the same kind you eat/cook with). Put the nail in a small pile of flour and keep it there for a few moments to help the blood coagulate. Even after you stop the bleeding, the nail is still very sensitive for awhile.
But anyways, if you place a rabbit on its back very gently and stroke its sides, it usually puts it into a 'hypnotized' state and it will become immobilized (for the most part).
This video shows what I'm talking about:

If you don't feel comfortable trimming your rabbit's nails yourself or if your rabbit is too fussy, I HIGHLY suggest taking your rabbit to Petsmart or a pet store that grooms animals. They will cut the nails for you and I believe it costs less than $15. If they try and charge you more than that, go somewhere else. It usually only takes them 5-10min.How to cut my rabbit's nails?
i would buy some cat clippers and clip you rabbit nails. i clip my felines nails all the time.
if you use cat nail clippers they work the best when cutting their nails, really there is no easy way around it, but having someone to help restain is great, so you just have to work thru it and giving treats afterwards is good too
Use the same clippers as you would if you had to declaw your cat . It is hard to hold the bunny down because it is unnatural for them to be on their back. Be as gentle and may be talk to the bunny and stroke its fur to distract it.
I find that the best way is not to clip their nails on their back but have a firm grip, around their shoulders so they can't squirm around. Another way is to wrap them tightly in a towel. You can then do each paw individually with special rabbit nail clippers.
If you fence a ';run'; area off outside and put 2 or 3 inches of gravel down, the digging will quickly wear claws down naturally. BUT either the fence needs to start from a foot below ground level ,or you need to put a row of concrete blocks around perimeter below ground level or it will tunnel out in first day!
When my kids were young they had a rabbit,on condition it lived outside in hutch and enormous ';run i made for it. No expense spared, bales of hay, lettuces , carrots, 5 star luxury!
On a cold night I would find it in the house in the kids bedroom
';because it was cold outside!!!';
Try wrapping his body in a towel to minimize wiggling. This will help a lot with keeping him on his back.

How do you take off fake nails?
Hey all, i put on fake drugstore nails and i want them off? any suggestions for an unpainfull way?
THANK YOU!How do you take off fake nails?
well you take your Hands
move your hands to fake nails
Take fake nails
take of with your handHow do you take off fake nails?
just pour a bit of nail polish remover in a bowl and soak your nails in it for a few minutes and your nails should be able to come off easily or easier than usual.
well when I had them a long time ago my boyfriend took them off with a guitar pick.hah. You slip the pick between your real nail and the fake one, then you slowly push, and it comes off and it didn't even hurt =]
soak them in water with soap to make them soft, and get something sharp like tweezers to push under the back of the nail and slowly lift it up, it works for acrylic so idk why it wouldnt work for glue
soak them in acetone [you can get this at sally's beauty supply or just about any other beauty supply store] and then they will be loose enough to just pull off.
hope it helps:]
soak your hands in warm water for about 5 min, they ll come out easily
Were they pre glued or you glued them?? If pre glued they ll come out easily after soaking then in warm water
soak in fingernail polish remover until they get loose or soft. Then you can just pick them off PAINFREE
bring them to me and I will nibble them off for you
No, I don't wear fake nails...my natural nails grow nicely.

How do you get acrylic nails off without ruining the natural nail?
The best thing to do is go to a beauty store and buy acetone (strong nail polish) and soak your nails in the acetone. This will help you ';peel'; them off, then you can file and buff them down and you should be okay- as long as they didnt destroy your nails putting the tips on. Getting acrylic nails is not really good for your nail.. cause then your real nails cant breathe... but hey we make sacrifices to feel nice every day. This is usually the way I get them off.How do you get acrylic nails off without ruining the natural nail?
soak them in polish remover. It will eat up the acrylic, with out taking a layer of your nail bed off.How do you get acrylic nails off without ruining the natural nail?
You don't have to go to a beauty store to get acetone you can go to any Wal- Mart and get Pure acetone. It will be with nail polish remover. If you don't want to use acetone then you can use fingernail polish remover because it contains acetone it will just take longer. If you got your nails put on professionally you can usually go back there and they will take them off for 5 or 10 dollars.
If you make the mistake of peeling them off you will pay the price.
you don't. don't wear them in the first place.
what i did was get a small bowl of nail polish remover and soaked my fingers (up to end if nail so the nail soaks) in it, it takes forever, but eventually they sorta peel/fall off
no idea

How do I trim my kittens nails?
I just got a baby kitten (rescued her). And her nails are very sharp, Can anyone tell me how to trim her nails please. Do I have to do a certain length? Can I hurt her doing it? Can I file them?How do I trim my kittens nails?
Just use a regular human nail clipper; they fit in your hand easily and work well even on adult cats. Do just one or two nails at a sitting, with plenty of praise and petting, so your kitty doesn't get restless. Try trimming off JUST the sharp tip, rather than trying to get down close to the vein. The vein is like our ';quick'; and cutting into it will be painful, and may bleed. You need not file the nails, although you can.How do I trim my kittens nails?
I just trimmed my kittens nails the other day: got tired of the nice little scratches all over. Here's how you do it:
It is best to get a nail cutter made specially for animals; they're shaped better and usually come with medicine to rub on the nail just in case you cut too short.
You can file them but that takes a long time and trying to hold a kitten for that long is near impossible.
Cut JUST THE TIPS! Look at the claw and do you see some pink showing? That's flesh and it will hurt the kitten if you cut it that far back. Cut just the tips so that the claws are not sharp anymore. Have some medicine nearby just in case you do cut it too short: some are made specially to ease the pain and prevent infections.
Good luck!
Wait until your kitten falls asleep then start clipping. I always clip my cats claws while they're asleep and they rarely struggle!
Don't cut past the quick, that's the pink part of the nail. Yes you can hurt her if you cut the quick, it will start bleeding so be very careful. Just cut the tips, the clear part of the nail.
A pet nail clipper would be best. But if you don't have one you can use a human nail clipper but turn the clipper to the side so the claw doesn't split.
You can file them after clipping if you want but there's really no need to do it.
Hope this helps!
This is a trick endeavor, but one that can be mastered. I use a baby nail clippers and only cut off to the curve of the nail. Kittens tend to have very thin and pointy nails so it shouldn't take much effot. Do be careful to not cut too short or it will bleed and hurt the kitten.
Here is a good decription.
Trimming their claws is easy and if you start while they are young and do it often they won't even think it's a bother when they are older. One trick is not to push them to fast. If they seem restless, stop for a while (like 1/2 hour or so) and do some more later. Add teeth brushing to the same ';Sitting'; and call it their ';spa day'; :)
You can buy nail clippers at the pet store, and to tell how long you look at the vain in the nail and clip just a little over the vain.
If you need to ask anymore questions you should go to the vet the pet store or ask me.
