Recently, I have been trying to get my crazy Rabbit to get used to being held.
Tonight i decided to spend some time training him to do it. First i was hokding him on my lap on the couch and not letting him leave. After i would hold him against my chest to get used to hands touching him, he started to get affraid/aggitated at this point. The problems all started when i actually was holding him. He would kick free from my hands and start flaying around in the air, making it hard for me to get a hold of him again. This happend 2 times for about a second each. On the second time i did hear a little pop from him, and started to get really worried that he was broken. After he seemed all right and didnt act weird when i palpated his legs and back.
OK, that was the first incedent of the night, the next is worse.
As I was getting him a snack in the kitchen, he was there in my arms as i went just in case. He decided to jump out of my arms and he fell about 5 feet to a tile floor. This act did not happen just once but THREE times. The other times where when i was tyring to see if he was alright after he fell and was just checking him over and he managed to get free again and literally made a splat on the floor.
I feel really bad that this happen. His lips are cut open and he defenately does not like me right now.
Is there anything i could do to make him better and to stop hating me?
