Hello All!!
I am new to rabbits online and bunny motherhood and could really use some advice! I took in a 1 1/2 year old Netherland Dwarf who I have named Penelope. It obvious that she was never really groomed or taken care of so her nails are ridiculously long. How would I go about safely clipping her nails (which are black) without hitting the quick.
Also, she seems incredibly shy and doesn't want to leave her cage (store bought. Will be building her a NIC cage this month) when I try to let her explore the room she hops right back in the cage. I have left her all sorts of fresh veggies and toys doesn't seem to want to try any of them. Is this normal? I've only had her for 3 days so I'm guessing she may need to acclimate. She is perfectly heathy and pretty darn cuddly. So in love already. View attachment 11741
