Rabbits need their claws trimmed every 4-6 weeks. The claws are like
fingernails, and never stop growing. Most indoor rabbits won't wear
their claws down enough, so they will need to be clipped. You can do
this yourself using nail clippers, or you can take your rabbit to a vet.
If you are doing it yourself, it helps to shine a light from underneath
the claw so you can ensure that you don't clip the blood vessel (the
pink bit).
