I’m trying to learn how to do this too…when I first got mine, he hadn’t been handled very much, and trying to pick him up put me right back at the beginning and I had to earn his trust back again.
I’m really not sure where to begin because my rabbit doesn’t have a cage, he lives in my house and hops around as he pleases…any advice?

I have a pet bunny …
I have a pet bunny and she just will not let me pick her up… When I let her run loose in the yard and want her to go back in her den, I just use 2 square pieces of plywood and guide her towards home… She of course wags her tail all the way, trying to find sneaky ways to outsmart me… Often she does. I love her to death

When you are going #2 in the woods and out of TP, use a rabbit.

You have to keep on trying picking up your rabbit. Petting it, and picking it up. Soon it will get used to it. I’m in this process too, and it’s working with by bunny.

i hold my rabit a lot different, every rabit is defferent and mine would freak out if it was held like that. not all bunnies are that calm and most bunnies dont like their feet held together like that i give this video half a star

see a vet, there …
see a vet, there might be something wrong with your rabbit if it’s acting differently and not like itself. if it’s not unusual just make sure you cuddle him/her and make the rabbit feel more comfortable with being handled.

her way might work for her rabbit, but that would not work on mine. what i do is scoop one hand under the belly while the other hand, i use to scoop my bunnies’ butts. if i did it her way, they would kick and jump off and twist something or break their nails and stuff…

This vid seems ripe …
This vid seems ripe to start a religious argument.
well, not really an argument pre se, but more of a reaffirmation of facts, namely that Christianity is in effect Sun-worship, large parts of the New testament are plagiarized from the Koran as is large parts of the talmud ripped off from the egyptian Book of the Dead.
Also 9/11 was an inside job as clearly evidenced by the controlled demolition of WTC7, the Federal Reserve is privately owned, and Dick Cheney has massive genitals.

And im not saying …
And im not saying dont do it her way,But till your rabbit falls on the floor and hard you will wonder why.Rabbits are not like cats there not going to fall on there feet they will fall and they will get hurt a lot more then lightly holding them on the back of the neck and scooping the rabbits butt in your hand and holding the rabbit close to you.
