Thanks, I will have to get my boyfriend to help hold him and see if that does the trick, Do you mean to wrap him berrito style with the paws out? I use to have to do this for a rabbit that I had, every time I cut his nails I would have to wrap him in a towel!

Jesse is really a fussy eater, I am currently searching for a treat that he will love, but haven't found it yet! Any suggestions?
