How can I safely and effectively trim a rabbit's nails to ensure they are kept at an appropriate length?

To safely and effectively trim a rabbit's nails, use specialized small animal nail clippers and have styptic powder on hand in case of bleeding. Gently restrain the rabbit and carefully trim the tip of each nail, avoiding the quick (the pink part with blood vessels). Trim a little at a time and stop if you see any signs of bleeding. It's best to have a veterinarian demonstrate the process before attempting it yourself.
