Rabbit Handling: How to PLACE DOWN a bunny rabbit

[gsk8097]

thanks now my life is saved i can put a bunny down i thought you were going to kill well never get your hopes up

[bonobobo1999]

Thank you a lot, I'm only 12 and my mom said if I keep getting mad at my bunny we're going to have to take her back Lol. Don't worry I didn't hurt her or anything except when I would try to put her back in her cage she'd start squirming and scratch me so I'd put her down really fast and get mad. But now I know how to put her down, thanks!

I was cradling her like a baby before haha

Wear long sleeves, practice a lot. Give her treats to help make her want to see you. Good luck

is grabbing a bunny by scruff and the feet not used anymore (had rabbits years ago, but I know things might have changed)

[bunnycentral]

I do not like to grab by the scruff because the skin separates so easily there and that must hurt! I like to support from below the ribs and under the butt.

[sfcub69]

hmmm...I remember reading somewhere that when a mama tiger picks up her young by the scruff, it releases serotonin in their body, I would assume as a way to sedate the cub.

[crystalwolfchild]

In the wild, rabbits are not scruffed, they are not meant to scruffed. Thats the difference.

this is great but my rabbit jumps out of my hands when I am going to put him down or pick him

up.

[bunnycentral]

If his face in near your chest, how can he jump out of your hands? Bend down and place him down quickly before he realizes he's in the air. Good luck, G.

[bunnycentral]

Do it quickly. holding the rabbit in the air (dangling) while you are being indecisive scares them. Pick up and place down fast, 1 - 2 seconds max. G

I do it the incorrct way! I'm a bad person! lol. Thanx for the info! you guys rock!

[fuzzfarm]

Thank you for such a great informational video. It makes such a difference when rabbits are handled properly. When they feel secure, they don't bite and scratch.

Thank you! I hate when ppl write back with an offensive comment for such a lovely informative video. God bless ya. Love your bunny :)

[bunnycentral]
