Hi there
I hope everyones well, I introduced myself and my bunny Humphrey a little while ago and I have my first bunny related question!
Humphrey's claws need clipping and I am a bit worried about doing it myself as he absolutley refuses to be picked up. He is very affecionate but generally (as I understand this is the case for many buns) it is always on his terms! Even if I touch his toes to check his nails he does not like it.
I am prepared to take him to the vet to get them done but he hates going so much that I hate putting him through it.
He is a big lad (being half french and half dwarf lop) and I guess I am not that confident with him when I try and pick him up as he struggles so much. I am new to owning buns and so I guess I am not that confident generally yet when it comes to his care.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how I get him to tolerate being picked up as I have really tried and am failing spectacularly! Are there any "Bunny Whisperers" out there?!!
Many thanks
Helen and Humph
