Cutting Nails

May 27, 2011 14:45


This is something that's been a problem with our Holland Lop for a while. The last time he had his nails cut was when he was neutered a bit ago, so he's well overdue for another trim. Goomba is really strong and won't sit to do the chore ... Any suggestions how to get him to sit still while we do it? His nails are kinda gettin' scary.

EDIT: I did it! Not a huge deal, but I thought I'd let y'all know. I combined Bunny Burrito with kneeling over him and he was surprisingly chill about it. I think he kinda liked being wrapped up in a towel like a baby. We were basically snuggling while I did it. He wasn't so keen on me doing his hind claws but did he ever need it. They were scarier than I thought! The only thing I wasn't sure about was how close to his fingers the quick was ... It looks different on a cat. I'm not worried I nicked him, more than I didn't trim them as close as I could've.

Ah well. He seems to be in good spirits now too.
Thanks a lot, everyone!
