First time nail clipping!!! Aghhhh!

Thea & Bobbin

So my bf and i just got Bobbin into the bathroom, aka the place where scary things happen to bunnies! He needed some eye ointment and whilst we were at it I decided to give nail clipping a go.... yes, I hear ya... OMG!

Never done this before and I suppose I've been putting it off:oops: He's four months old so it was about the right time to do it.

I got to work and it was so hard at first... their feet fluff is soooo long!! Manged to find them and I was doing well... apart from shaking like a maniac! I got to the third nail... and oh dear, he flinched and almost got free! :shock: :shock: :shock: I was so scared, luckily when I looked at the nail it was ok... yes, very close to the quick but not bleeding... PHEW!!

So I proceeded with extreme caution and only took the very tips off the others!! Gave him a treat afterwards and he was right as rain! Awwww :love: my brave little baby bun :D

Just thought i'd share my first nailing clipping nightmare with you! :D
 
Brave bunny and even braver Bunny Mummy :thumb: I can't imagine he needed much clipping off at that age, but it's good to get him used to it while he's little enough to handle :D Thankfully I've never needed to cut my girl's nails in 2yrs - I would probably get my arm ripped off if I tried :shock: Benny is very good though - his seem to grow quite fast as did Tia's, so they get done about 3 times a year :)
