These are quite good pieces of information which may help you.
It is often easier the first time to get someone to help you in person to do it, some people get either the vet nurse or the vet to run through it with them as they are doing it. If you are anywhere near a rescue, most of them will help you, if you are near me and free during the weektime give me a shout. There is also Greenfields in Bracknell I am sure Lorna would be happy to go through this with you as well.

WHy bother book an appt. w/ a vet for this? I just do a little bit (1 mm) at a time, guarantee that little bit can't go wrong. And do it once every 3 week.

We wrap Jetty upside down in a towel and do them that way, the only problem is with him being a black bunny I can never see where the pink bits are on his nails. Though I would rather trim Jetty's nails than our pensioner Canary Lui's claws before he passed away.
