i love the way he says dont let the hind legs dangle and that poor rabbits hind leg is! :/

[mandypandmoomoo]

i thought u were supost to bring it close to ur chest put one hand on its back and the other hand suporting it bum cus dont they feel more safe that way

[Twisted86]

I never seen a rabbit that would accept its back legs dangling like that. Best way to handle a meat rabbit is behind the neck and lock the back legs so she can't claw.

What do u do if ur rabbit doesnt want to be hold. If it jumps away when u try to hold it:)?

I can take my rabbit up, but it doesnt like to be hold.
