Are the back nails of a rabbit supposed to be cut?

Or just the front ones? Also, how do we do that? Can you suggest a video for beginners? My rabbit doesn't stay still and he gets scared. And the bunny burrito covers his back paws so it doesnt apply to cutting the back ones. ThanksAre the back nails of a rabbit supposed to be cut?
Only if they need it. You will be able to tell if they start to get too long. Some breeds, such as the Rex breeds tend to have nails that grow faster than normal. Proper and regular trimming is necessary to bunnies or else the nails can start to grow sideways, or twist, and can even get caught on their cage and get ripped out. If you are not comfortable or are having problems trimming your bunnies nails you can take him to the vet and they can assist you and teach you the proper way to hold and control your bunny for nail clipping.Are the back nails of a rabbit supposed to be cut?

Yup.
Yes, all the nails need to be cut for the rabbits sake, and is your rabbit young? He may need to get out and run some, and some rabbits are very nervous, it should calm down soon.
Yes to keep your rabbits comfortable you need to trim nails and groom with a brush regularly. I got my rabbits used to nail trimming time from a very young age and used massage to relax them, now I can easily trim nails without the burrito method. Check out Etherbun or House rabbit society online for advice.
