Identified Causes

Insufficient Nail Trimming

90%

Rabbit nails grow continuously and require regular trimming. If this is not done frequently enough, they will become overgrown and curl.

Lack of Natural Nail Wear

60%

Rabbits in the wild or those with access to abrasive surfaces naturally wear down their nails. Indoor rabbits or those on soft bedding may not get enough natural wear.

Underlying Health Issues

20%

Certain health conditions, such as arthritis or mobility issues, can prevent a rabbit from using their paws effectively, leading to nail overgrowth.
