  And they were troopers!
  
  The babies will be 3 months old (they’re growing up!) on Nov 9, and today everyone got their nails trimmed and groomed! And by everyone I mean all 10 rabbits - which, I think it’s 18 nails per bunny so I clipped…180 nails today! LOL!!!
  
  Anyway, the 4 babies were awesome - actually everyone was, I had to clip a mat off of Yuuki (my male Lionhead’s) mane that had gone unnoticed.
  
  The only baby who gave me a little wriggle was Pickle, who soon calmed down.
  
  I brushed all 4 of them, as they are developing the Lionhead fluff all over their bodies…!
  
  I am so proud of them ! lol.
  
  UPDATE: PICS ARE NOW A TOPIC IN THE LOUNGE!!!!!!!!

  LL,
  My new baby bun is 4 months old and she desperately needs her nails trimmed. My Dad, the softie, has already bought her a PediPaws as a gift, but I think I might be better off doing a trim first and gradually work with her using the PediPaws.
  
  Any tips on baby nail trims? Did you burrito them? Flip on their backs in your lap? Just hold them down and pull out a paw?
  I am so used to clipping a LARGE wabbit that I am a bit nervous.
  
  Glad to hear from you, btw. Was wondering how you were this week.

  Basically I grab my guys around the waist and kind of hold them so their butts touch my knee and their bottom legs stick out, and I clip away. No one freaks out or has a fit, if they twist a bit I just keep plopping them into the same position until they give up lol.
  
  Don’t be nervous!! They are fragile but not as fragile as one might think!!
  
  I’m so happy to hear about Samantha! She sounds like a doll!!
