Nails
Like humans, our nails are always growing, when we are in nature we wear out while we dig, run and walk around, when we are with you it does not happen and it needs to be cut.
You can go to our Veterinarian to cut, or to some pet store, but it is important to know one thing, to cut our nails we do n't need to be anesthetized or sedated.
If we calminhos 2 people can cut their nails, moreover to one, but two is easier, be very careful to pick up on our paws because a jerk is enough to leave a paw.
If we are very restless, you can use the Bunny Burrito method , which consists of wrapping us in a towel or blanket with only the outside head, as if it were a Burrito, then take off a paw and carefully cut the nails.
To cut your nails, you can use pliers or scissors, here whichever way suits you best , the important thing is not to be afraid.
It is important to know how to cut the nails, they have to be cut at a right angle to be the most similar to wear in nature, it is also important not to cut too much or hit the cob, in addition to going to hurt us a lot, it will cause a lot blood and it is very difficult to stop, if this happens, always have Corn Starch on hand and stick your nail in there to stop the blood.
I leave here a small drawing to make it easier:
In the image I show you how the angle should be, as you can see if it is straight they hit the cob and make blood, besides hurting our paws a lot, if it is in the wrong angle we will have 2 sharp tips that can scratch us and cause wounds when we scratch.
A help mainly for bunnies with black nails is to put a light on the nail, a flashlight pointed, it will let you see where the cob is and so they don't cut it.
Never in the belly mess up to cut the nails (see here what happens in this position), even if they give way more, please do not do it.
