Hi,

I have spotted bumps underneath reggies nails on his front paw on a few of them. They are red and a couple of them are clear not red.

He is eating and hopping fine. Even doing his binkys haha so I just wondered what anyone thinks or if their bunnies have this,

He is a dwarf mini lop lionhead
Here are some photos I tried to get which was difficult of one of them

Thanks

Thank you. Yeah its not as red on some of the nails as others its clear where as that's red, Ive been putting sudocrem on each night only a tiny bit to see if it will help
 
What sort of substrate does he spend most time on ?

Do the nail beds look red/inflamed too ?

Personally I would not use Sudocrem. Had you just applied some before taking the pictures ?
 
Hi
He has blankets in his cage and I've now put blankets all on my floor where he hops and sleeps because I thought maybe it was the carpet.
I have wood pellets for his litter tray and hay in there too.
What do you mean by nail bed? because they are underneath is nail?

And I cant remember I think I took pictures then applied sudocrem after. I hardly put any on him

The nail bed is where the toenail grows out from the toe :)
