If you don't know how, have someone who does show you. Rabbits may need their toenails trimmed on a regular basis if they do not have a way to wear them down. Feet can get caught in wire cages and the rabbit may sit quietly for days, so check for activity and movement. This can lead to infection, starvation and death. Diet changes must be made slowly, especially if the rabbit is very young.
Digestive upsets can lead to death.
Female rabbits are susceptible to uterine tumors and should be spayed at an early age. It is best to neuter male rabbits kept as pets to reduce territoriality and urine spraying. Treatment usually consists of antibiotics, but the condition is rarely cured. Hairballs can occur in the stomach when the rabbit ingests hair and there is a lack of fiber to help the hair move along the intestines. Hairball remedies used for cats may help.
