@BananaManaTV do rabbits stay on your lap for a long while?

[BananaManaTV]

@3333sweetie We only have the rabbits in this “trance” position for as long as we need to groom them i.e. cut their nails, spot clean them, inspect their health etc. As rabbits are not comfortable in this position (you can tell by their heartrate), we should not have them in this position for prolonged periods of time.

My rabbit absolutely HATES being picked up. He freaks out and squirms when I pick him up, any suggestions?

My bunny hates going upside down????

Sorry, wrong video lol. I loved yours actually. Thanks!

[Wanderer3133]

...Where to start. The litter you're using is going to kill your rabbit should he eat it. The shoe box you have him sleeping in is horribly small and does not meet regulation sizing. Would you let your child sleep in a closet? No? Then why would you think it's good enough for your pet?

Spice is such an adorable and calm rabbit. I have two new 6wk old Netherland dwarf rabbits and they only come near me when they think I have a treat then run away once they don't see it. They come near me to investigate, smell, and one nips at me. I noticed, when I clapped my hands one thumps their hind legs, like Thumper from Bambi. Is there any way to show them I can provide a safe, friendly, and loving home. I wish to hold and pet them. Also, I wish they would stop pooping on my bed.

My rabbit is very nervous about being picked up and kickes and won't even let me try to pick her up and just runs although she is fine when I pet her what should I do!!!!

[MrJokerNick]

if my rabbit is always nervous of me picking him up, but should i just keep doing it until he will calm down or just let him be

@MANIACMONKEYSKB Hi, rabbits (prey animal) dislike being picked up (liken to being caught by a predator). Sometimes thou, we do need to pick em up (for grooming, vet visits etc). It being something ur rabbit doesn't like, we need to be patient & gentle - so ur rabbit will trust u & let u do it with minimal stuggling. 1st pick ur rabbit up supporting her butt & bring her close to ur body. Then, flip her over quickly & hold her close to ur body - stroking her head at e same time to reassure her.
