If you don't clip your rabbits claws then it will get to the point where they will curl over and the rabbit won't be able to walk because they are in so much pain.

Even before it gets to that point, there are other dangers:

When the nails grow long, the toes are lifted off the floor and more pressure is put on the heels: this can lead to a condition called "sore hocks" (pain, inflammation, and even infection in the heels).

When the nails grow long there's a greater chance they'll be caught on something and broken or torn out (causing great pain and risk of infection).
