My bunny is use to being handled. he came from a breeder who could handle him no problem. And when he was in boarding with an ex-breeder she was handling him and picking him up without an issue (she did this in front of me before I got him back just to show me that everything was ok with him).
Now that I have him, he struggles every time! I know he isn't scared coz he runs to a corner, looks at me disapprovingly then either flops down to sleep or goes about grooming himself. When I go up to pet him he's all ready to be loved. How do I stop my bunny from basically bullying me into not picking him up? I have to cut his nails :help
When he was sick with GI stasis he would come up to me and when I picked him up then he almost liked it, like he would nuzzle in for more cuddles.
Oh and I tried the bunny burrito...my lokki doesn't get tranced...he skips right out of there.:bunnybutt:
Lastly I don't pick him up too high, I'm always sitting on the ground.
I think he just knows that he can get away with it coz I get worried and I guess I'm still not too confident about picking him up since he struggles. Can he sense that I'm not as sure as other people who've picked him up? I just don't like seeing him struggle, it breaks my heart, even though I know it's normal for them to not want to be picked up :boohoo:
