I also recently learned the “clip clip snip” technique from a House Rabbit Society video – its a very good idea! Also, new sharp trimmers do really help a lot – I had some dull ones and that made the whole situation much harder (like its easy in the first place to give a nail trim!)

wasn’t me… I did read it, too, — was it Rabbitpam??
I have the hardest time with Lint’s nails. the little fire cracker resents this procedure with all his 4 lb. might… but I’m getting used to his tricks and they don’t stop me any longer….

You rang?

Yep, Moo and I learned it from the same video. It’s the Press, Press, Snip technique, since you press down twice but don’t actually clip until the third time. The idea is that the bunny will yank his/her paw away if you’re on the quick. If not, bunny will just think you have a small stutter and wait until you finally cut the nail already.
