How do i pick up my rabbit? Everytime i get my hands around hm he hops out of my hands
Bentley was dropped as a baby so when I first got her she hated being picked up and got very nervous and skittish, it didn't help that I was nervous to since she is my first bunny. Over time I gained confidence and was able to pick her up. I scoop one hand under her butt and kind of grab on her back legs so she can't kick, and my other hand under her front arms then lift her up and hold her against me. Just be careful when you wear low-cut shirts or tank tops - I've been scratched plenty times. you really just have to find your own comfortable way.
My cousins picked up their baby lionhead bunnys by the ears
I asked him why and he said so they don't kick him, but I thought it looked cruel. Now you can't pick them up (the proper way) because they get so scared, but thats how he feels comfortable picking them up.
