I have a 6 month old male Flemish Giant. I've had him for just over 2 months now. When I first got him, the lady I got him from pulled him out of his cage and held him under her one arm as she was petting him with the other while we talked for a good while. He seemed completely comfortable being held by her, no squirming or anything.
I've had him for over 2 months now. He's a really sweet boy and loves being pet and I give him lots of attention every day, when I sit on the floor he will even hop over and lay down right next to me. I've watched many videos and read many articles on how to properly pick up rabbits and hold them but he wants nothing to do with that! When I try he immediately freaks out and kicks and squirms and scratches me.
Do I need to just give it more time? Do I keep trying? I don't want to make him feel scared and uncomfortable or nervous or anything. I plan on getting him neutered in a month or two, will this help? Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!
