  Willow will NOT let me clip her nails not as a burrito or with her eyes cover it is like she is ganging up against me.

  many experienced bunny people cannot clip nails very well, esp. not by themselves. you are not alone with this. since i’m guessing nail trims at the vet is not an option, i’d suggest you have someone help you hold her. clip one foot at a time (if necessary) over 4 days.

  Try distracting her w/ treats or pellets….while she eats clip away…it works on Boston but then again Boston will do anything for food!

  If it is too difficult you might want to see if your local rabbit rescue will do it for you. Many pet stores and groomers will also do this for you although there is a cost involved. If it is your first time, sometimes it is better for two people to do it, have one hold the bunny in the “burrito” and the other gently clip the nail.

  you might want to maybe call the nearest vet and just see how much it costs. At my vet its only seven dollars, which isnt too bad a price, i cant attempt to do peppers nails so i know how you feel! I dont know if all vets are that cheap, because my vet owns his own small animal practice and getting a neuter here is only 55 dollars. so maybe others arent so cheap. but it seems like you had good luck with getting the first foot! good luck on the second! lol!
