Hi there,

You can buy clippers from Pets at Home or any other pet shop but you have to be very careful not to cut them too short because they will bleed quite badly if you do. I'd say it's a two person job as well because they can give a hefty kick if they're not happy.

Most vets will trim their nails and it may be worth getting a bunny MOT done since you've only just got him.

vet check would be good anyway, as pain can cause aggression, so vet could rule out teeth probs for you

Gonna get a pair of clipper today.
Gonna do 10 Buns nails tonight. Eeeek!

Good luck - I used to clip nails when I was younger, but am a total wimp now and leave it to the vet nurse :lol:

I find this better as the buns are a little scared when going to the vet and behave themselves more. With me they kick and I am so worried I'll tear out a nail.
