It's been just over a month since I brought my first bun home and she is just a social butterfly. She can be timid at first to new people, but she loves to be where everyone is at all times. She also loves to be pet and given attention. However, little Remmy HATES being held, even for a second. Which is understandable, she IS a rabbit. But the problem is, until I get the new cage for her (ordered it today), I have to pick her up to get her out of the cage I have right now. Well today I had left the door to the room open because Remmy was going into her playpen instead of getting free access to the whole room. Everything was going fine until she started squirming around and jumped out of my arms. I totally lost it! I probably scared the crap out of her, but I threw myself onto the floor and swooped her up because she was running straight to the door! And outside that door is a big pitbull/Rottweiler mix! (who I have no idea how she'd react to Remmy, but she usually tries to hunt squrriels and chipmunks outside, so I'd doubt Remmy would receive a friendly welcoming). Not only that, but outside the room where she stays is NOT rabbit proofed; lots of cords to chew on, lots of places to HIDE. So yeah, needless to say I was freaking out when she jumped out of my arms. But I was able to immediately snatch her back up and get her into the play pen, THANK GOD. So needless to say, I really need to work with her on being held some. But how do I go about doing that? Any suggestions would be great! (Especially since its almost time for her first nail trimming according to my scratched up arms!)
