Expert Answer

Once a rabbit is adult, trim its nails every 2 to 3 weeks, adjusting frequency to nail growth. Regular trimming is essential; overlong nails easily scratch the rabbit and owner, affect walking, and in severe cases curl inward and injure the paws.

When trimming, avoid cutting the red (quick) part to prevent injury and bleeding.
