I have a question for anyone who can answer. My rabbit is quite agressive when I try and pick her up in her hutch but she's fine when I pick her up in her run. Is this because she feels more comfortable in her hutch? How do I pick her up in the hutch without her biting or scratching (what she usually does) ??

i have been working with and showing rabbits for five years and this is not how you pick up a rabbit. for best control of the animal, you pick them up with the ears and scruff in one hand and support the hindquarters with the other.

What if your rabbit already hates you

what if u have no hands?

This is a good example of how to pick up a rabbit. Once you have your rabbit it is good to put him on your chest facing you. This makes him feel secure as all 4 feet are firmly placed on your body with your hand supporting his bum and the other hand supporting his upper body. At the Rabbit Rescue Sanctuary we have many rabbits up for adoption. We are in Northern NSW Australia. We send rabbits to Sydney and Melbourne to new homes or locally in Grafton, Lismore, Tweed Heads, Coffs Harbour areas.
