I have a 9 month old holland lop who also hates to be picked out. It's weird though, once I catch him he is fine! I can also pick him up super easy if he is sleepy. I don't think he was handled much before I got him so we are slowly working to build trust. I got him last September...
Question: when are rabbits no longer considered a teenager? And do they calm down/become less skittish after a year or so?
Louie, my rabbit, loves head rubs, doesn't run away when I go near him and he will jump in my lap for snacks but will not let me rub him down his back and still gets scared very easily. I know most rabbits don't like their hind end being touched but he's molting something awful and I need to brush him but he won't stay for me to do it! Any tips?
