Hi everyone, I know my rabbit will never LIKE to be held. It's not enjoyable for him now so Im not expecting that to change, however I think it's important that he learns to tolerate it so I can do periodic checks (his nails and butt area) just to make sure everything is clean and fine. I've had him for about 3 months now and he's adjusted wonderfully and bonded with me great, but I've waited until now to try picking him because I didn't want him to fear me early on and avoid me. I've been picking him up once or twice a day for only a minute or so. Obviously he hates it but some times he's better than others and doesn't try so hard to get away. And he gets a small treat after I put him down at times. Is this a good idea? To just pick him up a couple of times and put him back down? I don't think holding him for long periods of times is a good idea but I'm not sure so any advice is welcome! Thanks!
