Every three months or whenever I can get someone to help me.

my rabbits nails are white, so I can easily see when they need done, I just clip her nails when they are obviously quite long lol and if it helps, I use small dog scissor type nail clippers, and I dont need help, I just lay her on her back in my lap and go "clip, clip, clip" lol

It really depends on what the cage is made out of. With wire/wood cages nails should be clipped every 2-4 weeks. With solid bottomed cages and rabbits who are allowed to run outside on the ground don't need to be clipped as often.

Whenever they look long I guess. That comes out to be about every month or so.

Miss Hoppy clips her own nails.

I clip Cad's nails just when ever they look too long which isn't very often. He seems to keep them filed down pretty well on his own.

ok thanks you for all those responses, they were very helpful. next question:

"Do you know or have you tried any methods to prevent or treat hairballs in rabbits?"

Some other things about hairballs i would also like to is around what age they tend to get, or start getting hairballs? Does it differ between short and long haired rabbits?

REMEMBER: you can answer previous questions even after other questions have been posted.
