Cutting rabbit claws.

I need to cut the claws on one of my rabbits. I haven't got the proper clippers so what would be best: kitchen scissors, nail scissors or nail clippers?

i used toenail clippers, def don't use kitchen scissors!

you have to hold the rabbit really firmly and only do the ends, take care not to go right down to the red bit of nail (quick?)

I was thinking toenail clippers would be best so thank you.
It's a job that I haven't had to do for years, and I had the proper clippers then.
Luckily, she is the tamer of the rabbits so it should be ok.
