Hey everyone,
I know some rabbits don't like being picked up, but is there anyway I can train Rilee to be handled? Ever since she was spayed a year ago, she darts as soon as I put two hands on her. I wish I could hold her and cuddle her, instead of cuddling on the ground, but mostly I'm concerned about when I would need to handle her. Like clipping her nails, cleaning her scent glands, checking her teeth, or moving her. Other than petting, she won't let me touch her at all, and frankly it's rather depressing to me that I love her, but she rejects me.
Is there anything I can do?? She runs at the first sign of my picking her up, I can't even pick her up with a towel to burrito her. Mostly, I wish I could just pick her up if I need too, and for her not to shread and hate me for it!
