If they are stressed, sighns are wiggling feetand spreading of toes. Bun-Bun does that. Cocoa, on the other hand hasdone great. I'm able to wash his feet, nutties, and rear, clip his hindclaws, apply ointment to sore hocks, and wrapp up his foot whith gauzeand bandages whith out any of that wiggling and jerking and holding himup by the scruff.
Yet, it's a pain to get him into the position to proceed the move. Andthat's the problem - you're not hurting the rabbit - he's hurtinghimself and it's hard to "safely" restrain a wild un-tame yet fragileand small critter.
