When Angie got Tia a few months ago, she was a case of neglect - they'd never cut her nails and she couldn't walk properly :shock:
So they're still a bit on the long side now - and I was going to take her to the vets but decided it would be an ongoing thing, and not worth stressing her over...But how do you pick up a rabbit? No-one ever showed me :shock:
Anyway - I grabbed her somehow and boy did she put up a fight, poor girly - so much for building up trust :roll: Thank goodness she's a tiny nethie!
Her nails look fine now, although I didn't want to cut too much off, but I was horrified to find that one of them was so loose it just snapped off at the root - eek, blood all over!
I guess this is because they got weak in her original home? - Will it grow back or is it gone for good now? Poor babe has recovered enough to eat some SS and pee on the carpet in defiance - I think she'll live, but she won't come near me again for a while - Especially as I'm doing it again next Sunday till they are short
