Thank you, we use a small carrier to take her from place to place. It has also been unseasonably warm here so we thought she might like the warm weather while we had it since she lived outside for so long. Otherwise, she is not handled. She is free to wander alone in her own little area. It is when we try to get her from point A to point B as gently as can be, that she struggles. I had to take her to the Vet last week for her check up. I always am diligent with my animals Veterinary needs. I sit on the floor and let her come to me. I put my hand behind her bottom and gently pick her up. Then I transfer her to her carrier. The space is limited, so it is manuvering to do it all in that space. She had scratched her eye as well, so she needed ointment for awhile. I had no issues doing that, she let me. I wanted her nails trimmed that day, but the vet said that would cause her too much trauma and to bring her back in a couple of weeks after her eye healed. She is a wild acting little one!! She does binky's when I come in to her room. She does love me. She just wants to be the boss is what I get from some of her actions. I do not let her out around my Australian Shepherds, they are out separately. But she knows they are here. I wonder if she is trying to show dominance as well? She came from a place where they had 4 Huskies.
I have not had a pet rabbit since I was a little girl. That bunny was the sweetest little black domestic bun bun. She free roamed all over our house. She was litter box trained. She was a very smart bunny! Dad never had her spayed either. He did have a hutch built in the back of our house for her though. I know why now-spraying! She was never mean or aggressive. Unfortunately, a neighbor kid did something to her while she was outside in her hutch, one day. Momma found her. It broke my mom's heart. We even chased that rabbit where she had gone, across the main road once, as she escaped into the woods over there. She went on an adventure. I think that same neighbor kid had let her out! We never got another one. Lot's of Guinea Pigs, but no bunnies. My husband has had many, but this is my first one since. We don't agree on how to raise them. I am way more compassionate. I also read the attachment. We have an enclosed area on a hard surface that we put her in. I am always there with her too. We watched an owl come swooping down and take the little wild baby rabbit that apparently it's mother had been taken, right in front of us! So we are extremely careful with her! The space gives her room to run.
