Why is nail trimming important?

Rabbits require regular nail trims every four to six weeks to prevent overgrowth. If left unmanaged, overgrown nails can curl into the foot pads or snag on surfaces, leading to painful open wounds and skin infections. Because a rabbit's nails grow constantly, consistent maintenance is essential to ensure proper posture and prevent mobility issues. Little Dolittle provides professional trimming to keep your rabbit comfortable and protect their delicate feet from injury.

​

The safety and emotional well-being of your rabbit are our primary concerns. Because rabbits are prey animals, they can experience extreme stress during handling which, in rare cases, can lead to serious health complications.
​
​If we feel your rabbit is becoming dangerously stressed or if continuing the trim poses a risk to their physical health, we will stop the session immediately.
​

If we are unable to complete the nail trim due to the rabbit’s stress levels or temperament, there will be no charge for the appointment. We believe that no grooming session is worth risking a rabbit’s life, and we appreciate your understanding in putting their safety first.
