I want to thank the ladies who helped me deal with my bunny issues. They helped so much!!!!

Now, Oreo has been losing a lot of fur!!! He rubs up against the cage and this has resulted in that. On his back, he will have little chuncks of fur missing!!!! WTH?!?! What do I do????

Also, how do I trim his nails?? They are getting pretty long.

The loss of fur can be due to many reasons, but what immediately came to mind for me was fur mites. Check out these articles... Cheyletiella and Fur Loss & Skin Problems in Rabbits

When I cut my rabbits nails, I usually turn them onto their backs, using one hand to hold them in place (sliding my fingers between their ears, they wont move if pinned that way), and then use my other hand to trim their nails. My method definitely wont work for everyone, sometimes wrapping the bunny in a towel (called a bunny burrito) and slipping one paw out at a time to cut, works... Or, if all else fails, your vet can do it for you!
