Claws!

New Kit
I got my rabbits claws clipped about 3/4 months ago and she advised me to file his nails down rather than get them clipped on a regular basis. Any tips on how to do this? He hates it!! And i can never pin him down long enough to file down more than 2 of his paws! grr. I don't want to force him too much incase i hurt him...and i don't really want to clip the claws myself incase i cause bleeding. Any tips? :?
 
If you just clip the very tip off every few of weeks you shouldn't be of any danger of cutting the quick and I imagine that's far less stressful than filing.
 
have you got some good clippers?

sometimes it helps to wrap the bun in a towel to imobilise its three legs while you clip the otehr one. also sometimes if my rabbit gets stressed I do one or two paws, let her go, and do the rest later that day or she just gets really upset.
