  This is going to be their first time & my first time. Any helpful tips? I’m a little scared. They aren’t to happy with being picked up.

  Hi,
  
  It’s a challenge to do, so first I’d suggest one at a time. It’s recommended that if you have trouble holding your bunny, make the bunny burrito as shown in the link that was provided.
  
  I had started a post last week on this topic, so am giving you that link as well.

  But especially with two bunnies, consider just taking them in to your vet to have it done. Ask the vet to let you watch so you can see how they are held, and how they get clipped. It usually costs about $12 to do one bunny, so it might be worth the expense for the first time. If their nails have never been trimmed yet, the quick may be a bit longer. That’s the vein that runs along their toes. So, it’s better to just trim the tips at first than to try to cut off too much.
