        He is trying to destroy our brand new recliners and my partner is getting a bit moody we need to change cables and buy those splitted cable prottective things what you put cables into, so next week will be changing and renewing our new flat more ”rabbit friendly” as I love him so much. 


        Was your rabbit scared from beginning? Pippin is getting better but he is very scared when I take him and handle him … yesterday vet told me how to take him but he never let me turn him on his back…. hes too scared but other than that, he is licking my face all the time he loves to cuddle after two weeks at home and he is very happy little fella

        Would he change a bit ? Does anyone knows how to handle rabbits and how to touch them not to hurt them but take them up safe? 


        Thanks a lot

          More handling can go either way.

          If the handling is a positive experience for your bunny, your bunny will learn to accept it more. However, if it is a negative experience bunny, will just start to fight it more. Quality of handling and time spent with you is more important than quantity.

          Focus not on getting in as much time handling the bunny as possible, but on improving you handling skills. Vets need to handle bunnies a bit differently than an owner. Vets see bunnies when they are already stressed and handling the bunny as swiftly as possible so bunny can get home is best practice. At home it is different, you can take your time more. Youtube has many great videos on rabbit handling. I’d post links, but I have to go right now, perhaps other members can post a few or I’ll get to it later tonight..

            I got my rabbit when she was about a month or two old. Never knew a single thing about rabbits , so we always held her cause we never knew it was a bad thing…So she doesnt mind being picked up now, but all buns are different.

              This one is titled and introduced as being about dealing with aggressive rabbits, but I think most of it is good general advise about handling rabbits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1abIFF_fgpY

              This is one about general handling by the same person. I personally prefer the supported butt method of carrying to the football.

                Thank you I will definitely be handling him a bit more. I agree with quality of time spent. My partner sometimes got him really quick and just bring him to other room where I only handle him for cuddles and kisses and if I do kissing noise, he comes to me and wait till i got my face down and lick my nose supercute….

                Thank you for links also, I will view them all

                  Mine only allows few secs of cuddling then she will jump off. i take it as an indicator if my bunny allows me to cuddle her for a long period of time then it means something is wrong and i need to be aware of her behaviour.

                          Excript lol ! Why do you think they do that? Pippin ate that hair straight away and I just went “aaaaggghhh” one thing is that it’s disgusting cause it’s hair and they are not for eating lol an other thing that much he ate it will take two years to grow back lol lucky it’s only one line so it’s fine haha it was so quick he pulled it in and bite in the end and then I pulled it out of his mouth…. Oh bleaaaaa ! Haha
