  My bunny got scared and ran out of the cage, and she broke 2 nails, one is completely removed and the other is just bent, what should I do? I don’t have any first aid

  Broken nails are not uncommon but you need to check so her toes are ok and not broken. Will she put weight on the foot with the broken nails?
  If there’s a broken toe you need to take her to a vet.
  Is there bleeding?

  She looks fine, she is walking and even scratching herself if her paw. Should I cut the bent nail?

  If her claws are long, you should clip all of them. The bent nail can be clipped of course but take care so you don’t cut into the quick. If it sticks out it’s best to clip it so it doesn’t get stuck in sth and get more hurt.
  One of my buns had a crooked nail for more than a year (it was that way when I got him) but it grew right again. I didn’t expect that but it happened.
