and on my bunnies feet it is yellow how can i get ride of it
plzzz answer
There is a vein inside rabbit’s and guinea pig’s nails. Their nails should be cut so that there are a few centimeters between the tip of the vein and the end of the nail. You should be able to see the vein through the nails (unless the nails are black).
I would give both the rabbits and pigs plenty of grain and hay. These animals graze, which means they eat a little at various times throughout the day, unlike people, who usually eat two or three large meals per day.
If your pets are long-haired then I would brush them at least every other day, if not every day. Also, they should be brushed more often if they live outside, and when you brush them you should check for signs of ticks or flees.
Don’t worry about your bunnies’ yellow feet. That’s perfectly natural.

yes cut the nails just below the quick…the red part of the nail, if they have black nails just be cautious and cut off a tiny bit at a time. rabbits feet are often stained and are designed to get matted so dont worry about that. they should always have a fresh supply of hay, for bedding and food, they constantly need to have their guts working or they will get bloat. dont use hay, it carries mites.
