I have just acquired a neglected bunny with super long nails!

[BunnyProblem]

She is thin, but seems ok otherwise. Her nails though, are super long, about an inch! What can I do about this? Presumably it will really hurt her to cut them right down?

You can trim them but be careful not to cut the quick.

Probably best to get a appointment to see a vet though to give her the once over make sure there is no underlying problems, they could do the nails and show you how to do it should you need to do it again.

Oh and she will need jabs, I'm going to take a safe bet and say that if she was neglected then chances are she wouldn't have had them!

Her old owners didn't have time for her as they had too many animals, she's very friendly, was living in an outside loo so had a fair bit of company. I've been informed she has had her jabs. Although I'm not sure if this would be true, doubtful any vet would let her leave with nails like that and I'm sure they don't get that long overnight.

How far down can they be cut? Just do a little at a time until they have gone right down?

If you have a look you should see a quick, the blood in the nail, you want to avoid that. Proper small animal nail cutters make it much easier!

If your not sure though take her to the vet, they can show you how to do it so you know next time. I thin you should any way given her state. Better be safe than sorry :) Rabbits are prone to all sorts!

How are the rest of their animals? If they haven't got time for them and bunny is in a bad state thane a call to the RSPCA may be necessary.

Other animals are all well. Their dog had a big litter of puppies so that's why they ended up with too many animals, they had their hands full with 10 (yes 10 ) puppies. And they have chickens too, they're not really bad owners, they look after the animals as best they can and poor Muffin got overlooked for a while before they decided to advertise her on FB. It's my aunties friend btw so I didn't get her off some complete random stranger.

I read up on guinea-pigs nails online. My boys have black nails (just to make things more difficult)

Various websites (I presume the advice is similar for rabbits) suggest cut them a bit at a time, the quick will shrink back with each trimming.
And one reassured that they had never known a GP bleed to death from a cut nail (ie bleeding)

You'd need some heavy duty nail cutters to deal with them. Maybe let the vet do the first trim? Or if their are any rabbit rescues nearby they can do it for a donation?
Have they got the rabbits innoculation booklet?

No way is that rabbit up to date with vaccines if she has inch long nails! Take her to the vets for a check over and they will check her teeth too- as she's underweight this is important, at the same time they can vaccinate and cut her nails for you. There is a yearly vaccine now which covers RHD and myxi. Much better than having to vaccinate 3 times in a year.
