Sox
Well-Known Member
New to this bunny business, never had one before. Sorry to have asked so many questions in the last few days. Had Sox for 12 days now.
Reading web etc they say best way to carry is with one hand just under chin and best and the other hand under bottom. I am getting more confident on this and I think so is Sox as struggles less now.
I carry Sox close to my chest like a baby with legs and chest upwards. I am now trying to turn him around with his lets on my chest/body so he is looking at me (I notice this is how pet shops do it)and when ever I do that he struggles wanting to be let free. Don't worry I am on ground level so that I don't drop Sox.
What am I doing wrong? I would like to start checking his ears, nails and sex but too scared to do it as he doesn't seem to like being carried much or could it be the say I am carrying him? Having said that he is not afraid of me as he comes up to my hand for a feed, gives me kisses on my clothing etc when I am playing with him/her in the playpen.
Do bunnies like to be held and patted I wonder? Any advise is muchly appreciated, I get disappointed in myself when he struggles and would really like this resolved.
