I've googled the tutorials, youtubed videos, etc. But all the pictures/videos/tutorials show perfectly well behaved bunnies - they let the people stand them on their hind legs, grab their feet, sit in their laps perfectly still, etc. My Powder is NOT that sort of bunny.
I want to be able to clip his nails myself, since the vet is pretty far away and no one else does bunny nails any closer.
I read a few threads on here that suggest a bunny burrito... but what exactly IS a bunny burrito?
He won't sit on my lap, he hates being held, he struggles, wiggles, jerks and claws to get free. I tried to see if he would let me touch his feet while laying on the floor chilling out, but he was not happy with his feet being touched at all. I haven't tried to clip yet, just trying to find a way to even get near his feet.
I bought clippers and I have styptic powder (I have to keep that around for broken blood feathers anyway). My boyfriend will help me hold him. I just am not quite sure how to hold him, without hurting him and still being able to access the feet.
