My rabbit is two months old and his nail is falling off, it's not off yet, I don't know what to do he licks his toe and shakes his head when he stands, please help me I hate to see him suffer.

You need to trim the loose piece of the nail off before it tears. Use pet nail cutters or a toenail clipper. If it bleeds, use styptic powder if you have it (or plain old flour if not) to help it clot. This is not likely to be serious, but you should deal with it. The nail should grow in again in time unless the root is damaged and either way it should heal fine as long as it doesn't get infected. Keep his cage nice and clean.

Welcome to RabbitTalk, Annie! :bouncy:

Cornstarch will also work for stopping bleeding.
