rabbit feet

Question
hello. I have ten rabbits and almost all of them have "bumps" or sores on the back and inner side of their feet. One of them  have a slight difficulty in walking, so I was wondering what might be the cause of this and also its possible cure. I read something about having nails being maintained at a certain length so as to allow for good rabbit footing, but I'm not really sure about it, so please help.
Thank you very much.

Answer
Hi, if you do not cut your rabbits nails on a regular basis then this is probably the cause of things.  Otherwise you need to take your rabbit to a skilled rabbit vet in your area.  There is really nothing more I could tell you about them unless I see them.  Thanks, Kiersten.
