You can cut it until you see the blood vessel. Don't cut it past the blood vessel. It's the pink portion of the nail. It hurts the rabbit's paw a lot. You can cut the nail with a specially made small animal nail clippers. See the related question below for details about how to clip a rabbit's nails.

Why rabbits have long ears?

Pet rabbits (not wild rabbits) have long nails because they aren't exposed to difficult conditions to live in and don't run (hop) or exercise much. Whilst wild rabbits must fend for themselves in the wild and do an awful lot of running (hopping) which keeps their nails trimmed. Which is why it is important to cut your rabbits nails when they get too long. To simply cut their nails, you must hold your rabbit so it doesn't struggle and very carefully with small clippers or pliers, cut a little bit away each time, but don't cut too far because you will hurt your rabbit and bleeding may occurr.

Where should you clip your rabbits nails?

Hello Get some good quality animal nail clippers. Get your rabbit and lay it on its back in your arms. Have a second person to clip the nails, or you can do it if the other person holds the rabbit. You need to clip them avoiding the quick of the nail. Depending on the colour of the rabbits nails this will be quite easy to see. Be careful not to cut the quick as this could cause pain and some bleeding. If you're afraid of hurting him (i would be), take him to the vet and they can do it for you.
