Very Proud

Ralph

Young Bun
I just wanted to add a bit of a boast on here as I am so proud of my boy. When I first got him I trimmed his nails and he was very very good, then as he grew up he turned into a little wriggler and one day I cut the quick. I felt so so bad :oops: I have done one or two nails a week since and he hated it, only tried to bite once but was very scared and would try and get away and I think it made him worried of me which I hated.

Since he has been on grass during the day they havent been too long as he digs but I had a go tonight and did one and he was fine, did another and still fine, and another and another and I did them all!!!!!! I was so pleased with him, he sat there as good as gold and didnt wriggle once! :love::love: He got lots of nose rubs and a bit of apple.

Sorry I just wanted to share!
 
I stopped using nail clipper, because I always afraid of over cutting into the quick and causes blood. But the consequence that I face is that my bun snap her nail and her finger due to the excessive length of the nail.

In the end, I bought the above.

If the nail got too long and you don't cut it, 2 bad things can happen, as they had BOTH happened to my buns:

1) the nail will snap, blood will arise at the snap point, and bacteria can get in from the opening

2) The nail can trap by some sort of hole, and snap the finger joint, then the finger is loose and look like it's broken
