        Took me 20 minutes to brush and trim nails and clean scent glands for Cotton. I have a cool method. I dont burrito him havent for a couple of years now. I sit him on the floor inside my crossed legs. Take a front foot hold the nail so I dont cut it too short and snip. After about 2 or 3 nails he tries to jump on me so I hold him for a bit. Then we do it til all front nails are done. Then the hind nails I hold him with my left wrist/arm on his little hiney and take a hind foot til we are all done. Yes with him after 2-3 nails trying to jumps on me. Me stopping to hold him and calm him and resume. Then for the scent glands I burrito him and he is pretty much fine til I finish. Works great for us. He hates being burritoed i figured out a couple of years ago. This method is perfect for us. May not work for everyone tho. So. Its up to the bunny n owner. Its a 1 person job for me. Always has been. Fouad tried helping once oh forget it. I never asked again. lol  Was a disaster

          Props to you working as a one person to trim a buns nails! I usually have to have my boyfriend hold him and I usually do the clippings since Henry usually tolerates me better in his personal space, LOL. Henry also hates being burritoed, I find its just easier for someone to hold him while I quickly clip.
          Check out my latest post? I really need answers regarding an important question!
