this rabbit reminds me of my old one so much..</3

Not all rabbits are so calm! Mine is a lively bugger! Not sure I could do that with him...
-
@BluOceanBubbles Sorry, I didn't know. Anyway, they've never liked it so I stopped trying.

@l3lugu This rabbit is NOT calm. This rabbit is actually in a "trance" - when rabbits are put onto their back like this, they start to fear for their life (rabbits are naturally prey animals) so start to play dead. Studies have shown that a rabbit's heart beat accelerates when they are put into this position; it is cruel and dangerous to put your bunny on its back.

My bunny loves to be held on her back :) I trim her nails a lot, but when she was younger, her claw snagged, and her entire nail ripped off. It is about 1/4th of an inch long :(
-
I'm completely unable to get my bunnies that calm and still. They hate when I try to put them on their backs, it's impossible. So I only trim their nails once in a while and just that is actually pretty hard. How can a bunny be this calm?
-
my bunny hates this. she whines and twitches and cries whenever she is on her back..since she hates it so much I only clean her glands once in a while but they don't get too bad
-
how regularly do you have to clean the scent glands ?
-

All rabbit, regardless if they are spayed or not, have scent glands to help mark their territorial pellet droppings.

Wow this is helpful! Thanks so much. I have one question though.. for you and other rabbit owners. I just bought a baby bunny, shes now 6 weeks old, but her nails are getting kind of long. Should I go ahead and clip them or wait until shes older? How long should the nails be past the quick to know when to cut them? Thanks =]

I encourage you if the white part of the nail is long enough to practice trimming and desensitizing your rabbit to nail clipping now while it's young. Make sure to watch for the quick, it's pink and filled with blood and is quite painful when cut.
