Have you tried putting her on a table? There’s no chance of mine letting me clip their nails whilst they’re at ground level or low down, but on a table they act completely different. It still isn’t the easiest job ever but it’s doable after some practice!

Wrap her in a towil or blanket, do one foot at a time.

I’m learning it’s easier to trim a cat’s nails than any bun’s! I have to take my guy to the vet to get his done—he’s crazy-strong and way too squirmy. I’d also rather have him mad at the vet tech and not me 🙈🐰
She’ll be the prettiest belle at the r/BunnyToes ball!

This makes me sad. I was nervous to clip my buns nails but it turned out if you just hold them securely and gently drape a towel over their head they didn’t even flinch!

I sneak up behind mine when his back feet are splooted straight back and stealthily clip one nail. Sometimes he pulls his feet in after. Sometimes he barely notices.
I don’t bother with the front ones unless they start to curve. I kind of do the same sneaking but while he eats something for them. I let him have fairly long front claws for scritching things.
Overall, no struggles. You can keep them plenty short this way.

I’m so grateful my four just pull their paws away lol, have you tried rolling them in a towel and making a bunito?

What I’ve learned is a weird hug position, doing it on a table with towel put down, being fast, being more firm than you think you should be and insisting until he gives up the drama lol and treats and pets

Vet tech appointment. It’s worth it.

Don’t, could be toxic if she eats it off of there. Just a thought.

My bun was like this so I used to swaddle her in an old towel and tuck her under my arm and stick one paw at a time out and trim it.
Note if they are long it is VERY easy to cut them to the quick so please have some sort of coagulant on hand. I used to trim them standing in out bath tub so if the dripped blood it was easy to clean.

Have you tried talking to your child instead of threatening with red nail polish? ^/s
I take phoenix to the groomer and hold her down with 2 other people so we can tackle her and cut her nails

then of course she gives me the feet flicks when we get home
I haven’t tried clipping Benny’s nails yet as he is still a baby. I might just have the vet show me the best way to do it.

I love her
Swaddle her in a towel very snuggly. Also, I prefer cat nail clippers. They are meant to do rounded nails.
Haha, nail trimming is the hardest. I would suggest buying a few trimming to see which one she’s most comfortable with
That’s one way to handle this 😂 Love it.
At some point you just have to hold them down- it’s way easier with two people
