  We have one but I’ve never used it for my rabbits or Chihuahuas. It just seems so big! I know some people do have success with them though so if you have one it could be worth a shot! Does Buttons react to simply having his nails and feet touched or does he only act that way when the clippers are out? I use cat nail clippers (they look like little scissors) and they work wonderfully on all my small animals. The only thing with them is that I do replace them about once a year as they get dull. The sharper they are the better as the animal doesn’t feel as much.

  I bought one some time ago because I thought it would be easier but my buns wouldn’t sit still so I found it better with cat nail trimmers because you have to hold them still while it’s slowly filing them down. I might try it on Sandy though, she doesn’t mind being held.

  I love it-I’ve used it on all my buns, friends buns and dogs. For some reason the noise and vibration is less offensive to them then a clipper. However it is not quick -only downside. Also I took off the nail guard and it works better.
  
  Honestly-go to the grooming section of a petstore and buy a REAL nail dremmel (That’s all the pedi paw is, with a useless nail guard) and use that. When my pedipaw bites the dust I’m replacing with a better nail dremmel.

  Nope-it won’t split nails-it very gently files them-and actually leaves a very nice soft nail
