Toe Nails keep Breaking

Hi every one i just wondered if there is any one who rabbits nails keep breaking off, they are not breaking in half it is the whole nail that is falling of. I have just found one of Honeys nails on the carpet & that is her fourth one to break off, is that normal!!
i am worried now has the last time she started to bite at the toe untill it was bleeding & she went though hell but now it has healed up & she has left it a lone now, but she keeps licking the toe where the nail has come of but it seems fine just now.
 
Sound a bit funny, are you sure there not getting caught in the carpet? otherwise id wonder if your bun had a problem to do with weak nails, perhaps something to do with calcium. Id ring the vet for advise on it. val
 
I know it does sound funny & its a worry, Honey is at the vets on Thrusday for her weekly penicillin injection, i hope its nothing to do with that has she has been on that now for the last couple of months, but i will call them in the morning to ask them its better to be save then sorry.
I really don't think its the carpet but i will be watching her even so now, she has them cut down every 4weeks at the vets, but you never know it could be just that.
Thank you taylor v 109
