I take Smudge to have his nails clipped every 6 weeks at the vets its only cheap about £5 but after watching im feeling confidient after the nurses demo's that i can identify the vein and where not to clip past, hes a good bunrab so holding him isnt a prob but just searching for clippers and there are load some very cheap other the opposite any recomendations would be appreciated thanks kate x
 
:wave: I have tried the scissor type and found them difficult to use (you can have mine if you want and I can find them) and tried a large pair of clip type nail clippers and have more success with them.
 
I've been doing it with the scissor type ones, did take some getting used to (I tend to be a chicken and wrap them up so they cant wiggle and make me cute it to short or scratch me)

They sell them at pretty much any pet store, I got mine from pets at home
 
i asked the vet recently because ours are rubbish and the ones he uses always look really good. he said get dog clippers for rabbits. i haven't got round to buying any yet but will be trying those. the cheaper ones, and ones made for bunnies usually snag the nail and sometimes half cut it or crumble it i find.
 
Oh thank you thats a great tip, when i asked at our vets the nurses just said whatever u find comfortable but when i was looking at the pet shop they are all in plastic packaging so cant hold them but dog clips is a great idea thank u again x
 
I'll see if I can find them, I did buy them with a grooming kit and they are the same as you can buy at chemist. Just remind me if I forget :oops:
 
i know lots of people have already answered

i know lots of people have already answered but i got mine from my vets i don't know whether your vets sell them but mine were £2.50 as they were on a special deal and they were the same kind the vets used their normally around £6-£7 so check with your vets if you want to buy a pair (if you haven't already)
