regarding the bleeding thing that smt mentioned, there's a medication to stop the bleeding (i can't remember the name of it, if any of you are interested i can find out tmr) that i bought from my vet... there was only once that i mistakenly cut into my bun's quick... looks like it hurts so much!! >__< i think if u cut too close to the quick most bunnies would react by retracting their paws.. cuz it hurts mah!

easiest way is to have 2 ppl do this - one holding the bun the other person trimming the nails.  cut a little bit at a time, and the location of the quick is similar on every nail, so cut around the same amount and it's fine.

i was told not to forget the "toe" on the front paws (the "hands"), but i find them hardly ever grow :S

main thing with bunny burrito is you have to wrap it REALLY TIGHTLY... also bringing your bun to an area that it has never been to would help.. cuz the bun will be too nervous to fight back.

well most of the pet store people are not very educated on pet care so dont trust 100% of what they say... before when i bought a rabbit at pecetera (that was many years ago) no one told me that a bunny needed hay! lol...

yes if they are used to how you pick them up they tend to struggle more cuz they know your pattern and they know when to hide.  you have to catch them off guard.  best thing to do is try picking them up at a place that they are not familiar with, or get another person to pick them up. after you pick the bunny up a good way to calm the bunny is to cover its eyes --- darkness = feel more safe = calmer bunnies

haha i know! sometimes i tell one of my buns that she's too smart to be a bunny!

chocobun

if they drink too much it can be a bad sign too... maybe too much toxin in the body (this is a sign that i missed for Mocha before he passed away...)

so it's not always more = good

and if you think your bun is not drinking enough water, feeding it vegetable would help as a form of water intake.

last time one of my buns wasn't eating and drinking for the whole day and the vet injected i think 50cc of water and he said that'll be enough for a day... so i think that's how much they should be drinking?

if 50 cc is normal for a rabbit per day then of cos 200 ml needs 3 days la... 50x 3 = 150..
plus water from veggie... should be enough.
