        So flash is fine no sign of injury or broken bones, but ever since the incident she’s very scared to be picked up. I tried today but she quickly jumped out of my arms. Also from what I’ve gotten to feel her stomach is sort of hard maybe it’s cause I’ve been feeding her a lot more than I usually do or maybe it’s sore from the incident.? I’m not sure but if anyone has any tips on how I can get her to let me pick her up that would be great!

          Most people don’t really know where a rabbits stomach is so I do question whether you are actually palpating her stomach.

          I would say though don’t pick her up if it is not necessary – on the ground is always better with rabbits, that’s more natural for them.

            Did she used to be fine with being picked up? Bunnies don’t tend to like being handled, so unless this is a change in behaviour I would say it’s normal.
            I also doubt you actually felt her stomach. The hard area was likely where her other organs are. I know when my vet showed me how to palpate the stomach, I was surprised on how far back it was.
            If you feel this is a sudden change in behaviour, I would suggest a vet trip.

              Before she never liked it a lot I mean she would squirm a little then she would be okay.

                My guess is as she has gotten older, she isn’t a big fan of it anymore. It happens a lot with bunnies.
                How long ago was the incident? She might just still be bit scared or nervous.
