  A friend was looking into using soft paws on her bunny, but can’t find ANY pictures / success stories on them.
  
  has anyone used them, and if so, have any pics? How did the rabbits react?

  This has come up a couple times before. The general consensus has been that Soft Paws are not a good idea for bunnies because:
  1. They don’t fit. Cat and rabbit nails are shaped differently.
  2. Rabbits chew their nails and use them for grooming so they wouldn’t last. They would need to be replaced at least a couple times a week.
  3. Chewing and eating the plastic could cause an obstruction in their GI tract because they can’t digest it.
  
  Hope that helps.
