House rabbits need their nails cut monthly, or else they could grow too long and even grow back into their skin. So, today was yet another episode in the nail-cutting saga.
Captain Janeway: For some reason, I cannot get the Captain into a bunny trance. Still, I have to lay her in my lap on her back in order to trim her nails; she's always very stubborn and determined to escape. She also always pulls her paws away, as if I cut her quick, even though I never have. Somehow, I got away with no scratches on my arms; and the Captain even came back for a treat.
Chakotay: Since Chakotay started out with an owner other than myself, he's really calm for trimmings. He just sits there and generally doesn't try to get away. He's is also so sweet in that he likes to snuggle his face up into my neck. He sat with me a while even after I finished with his nails.
Me: I swear I get more allergic to the rabbits every day. The past two times I've cut there nails, I walk away with spots on my neck. They go away quickly, but they are itchy and annoying.
The bunnies will soon get knew carpet in their cave.

I also hate trimming my house rabbits' claws! They act like I am killing them or something. Frodo--the mini-lop I have raised since he was a baby--hates it more than Samwise (our HRS adopted dwarf girl) and he does not stay in a trance very long either like Sam does! Good luck with your buns! Check out my blog if you like--mosaicoflife.blogspot.com
