No please no baths! Bunnies do not like to wet, they cannot swim, and should never be entirely submerged in water or bathed... at most you give but baths in 1 inch of water in case of poppy but or if the bun is disabled.

Rabbits groom themselves like cats and are very clean on their own... bathing a bunny will be:

  1. very traumatizing to you bunny and scary, and can cause stress induced GI issues
  2. irritating and drying to the delicate skin which will stay wet for a long time due to a thick under coat
  3. cold, wet buninies are super prone to hypothermia.

    Please take my advice on this and do not bathe your bunny!

    Grooming:

    What you should do is brush you bunny at least twice a week...

    Bunnies need regular brushing to help them with shedding fur. Unlike cats they cannot throw up hairballs and if those do form, they will create a block in their digestive system which is very dangerous. So it’s a good idea to get a bunny brush (look on amazon) and brush their fur regularly.

    Sometimes it can be hard to get those silky fine bun hairs. There very best brush I found is this one - it gets all that loose hair out due to the rubber band and might help you a bit https://www.amazon.com/Small-Pet-Select-HairBuster-Comb/dp/B06ZZXF81G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1545077601&sr=8-2&keywords=furbuster. This brush it worth the cost and will last forever and most buns don't hate it.

    You also should trim you bunny's nails once in 4 to 6 weeks for sure.

    Long nails can also get snagged and ripped off causing injury, and they put pressure on bunny heels possibly causing sore hocks over time from the imbalance.

In my experience, those clippers splinter nails, I use a pair like these and they work quite well.

When I was cutting my dogs nails it was really helpful to have a second person petting her head to distract her so she didn't bite or fight it. I would sometimes put a towel over her head and that would work.

Make sure you're talking to him the whole time you're doing it, and maybe give a treat after the front paws and another after the back ones. I used to put a treat ~1ft in front of her and she'd focus on that the whole time and then give it to her after the front paws.

It's taken ~11 years but I think she's finally gotten used to it.

I use the Safari Professional Nail Trimmer. Dog enjoys a frozen peanut butter KONG, and we get the job done! Hope you lucked out with white toe nails... Ours only has two black ones, and I get so nervous cutting them. They will probably be forever longer than the rest of his nails...

Nail trimming advice from DinkaAnimalLover:


Try to see if you can do the trim on the ground at his level... Also often placing one arm over their back and holding them down just a little while you check on something makes them feel more secure and they are less likely to squirm or try to get away (hence two sets of hands may help).

To get the bunny more used to nail clippings try to establish a clear reward mechanism - for example show the bunny two blueberries. Give one right away and the other right after you are done. Over a couple times this will build more positive associations with nail trimming as a reward will expected.

TIP: in case there is any bleeding, use corn start to put over the little nail and the bleeding will stop. It's not pleasant, but it happens and it won't hurt the bunny.. just scare them.

Oh don't let the nails get too long, the longer the nails grow the more the little nail cuticle inside grows out too and it prevents you from trimming the nails shorter later... Keeping the nails consistently shorter will also help keep that little cuticle shorter

Long nails can also get snagged and ripped off causing injury, and they put pressure on bunny heels possibly causing sore hocks over time from the imbalance.

You should trim the nails once in 4 to 6 weeks for sure.

I'd practice at home first, to see if you can desensitize. Our dog isn't a fan either, but with a traditional clippers, some treats, and about 20 minutes we can get 2 paws done in one treat-filled flurry.

We practiced the following, in order:

  1. See the clippers, smell the clippers, get a treat.

  2. See the clippers, smell the clippers, clippers touch your nail (clippers closed), get a treat.

  3. See the clippers, smell the clippers, clippers fit around your nail (but don't clip), get a treat.

  4. See the clippers, smell the clippers, clippers clip your nail, get a treat.

    I usually ID where I need to trim and mark it ahead of time. It's easier to trim quickly if you know exactly what you're going for. I start with dewclaws then work up to the bigger ones. I usually give our dog a week break before I trim the other set of paws - usually start with front, then get back.

    Is your dog showing his/her teeth when you try to clip? As soon as our dog starts to snarl, that's it. We stop there. We've been practicing it here and there for about a year, so it took quite a bit of time to actually be able to trim her nails, but now she's comfortable enough to know what's going on and permit it.

Here's an album of my fur babies, it's missing a cat that was abandond with us and our ferrets, but they are too wiggly and all I get are blurs. I tear up even thinking they'll leave for the rainbow bridge someday. I am so sorry for your loss, but I'm your Teddy Bear had a full and happy life.

Edit: they won't like it but they need nail clippers my pet stuff has a separate list.

We rescued Bambi a couple years ago from a shelter a couple towns over from us. She had been at the shelter at least 9 months according to her vet records. She had heart-worm when she first arrived.

We think she's much older than the shelter told us, I think she's around 7+ years old. Since dobermans have a shorter lifespan, we are cherishing the time we have with her.

She loves laser lights, cream cheese, peanut butter, chicken....She just loves food. She loathes cats.

We really need this nail trimmer its only 8.61 so I know its less than you wanted to spend. Our backyard is over an acre, so we never go on walks. Dirt doesn't file nails down well, so we would use this a lot.

u/ScribblerJack · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Hurrah, hurrah! ^____^ <3 I submit to you, this handsome USB hub!. And, for my furry friend, a gift he will probably hate. Ohohoho! (-: Thank you for the contest. It's too damn hot outside. It's too damn hot inside!

u/mrmojorisingi · 2 pointsr/dogs

We have this one and it works very well. Nice, clean easy cuts. There's a guard on the other side to keep the nail from going too far into the pliers.

u/Slartibartfastthe3rd · 2 pointsr/Greyhounds

You can do it! Need two people. Large sharp scissor style clippers., Styptic powder. Get her on a bench. Heights keeps them from trying to bolt and saves your knees. Helper get an arm under the chest. Cut a tiny bit at a time. Each nail takes at least 5 quick little clips. You start to be able to tell when you get near the quick by how the cut section looks. (Dog will also get more nervous.) Starts to bleed tap some styptic powder on and provide pressure. Clots in 5 seconds. The more often you do it the quicker and easier it goes.

The bench is key though. Way easier!

For dew claws, bring them to the groomer. Sometimes they won't even charge you, it's so easy.

If you must do it at home, get a nail clipper example, and look at the dew claw closely. If you can see the quick, cut above it. If the nail curves, cut after the apex of the curve, the top of the curve, at a right angle (like 2:00 on a clock). If you cut the quik, don't panic. Use some Quik Stop to cauterize the cut, numb the slight pain, and stop the bleeding by holding on the area with the septic powder for 15-30 seconds. Though the professionals are always best!

u/coberst · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

these nail clippers! I'm still terrified of cutting Nikolai's quick, but his nails are way too long and I can't take him to the groomer anymore. He sure is man's best friend!

u/Kinat · 1 pointr/aww

Nope. To be honest those aren't much better than a human nail trimmer. I use and recommend something like this.
