What are the strange grunting noises Lulu makes when I go to lift her? Are they threatening? Does it mean she's scared?? Anyone know?

Hahaha, my rabbit grunts every time I lift him. He's a very vocal bunny, and that's his way of saying, "I don't like this! Put me down, vile wench!" And I just scoop him up against my chest and say, "I know you don't like me, but it's time to do __________"
I try to only pick him up when I absolutely have to. He really dislikes having his bunny feet off the ground, so I try and respect that. But the grunting is so cute! :lol:

:lol::lol::lol: My Julie does a soft grunt when she is happy or excited. She hates to be picked up also but she whimpers when I pick her up. I try only to pick her up when necessary but funny thing is if I put her harness on first then she acts like she doesn't mind being picked up or even carried somewhere. Not sure but maybe she knows when she is wearing the harness that she will be picked up. She has to wear the harness even for the vet.

Our first bun Parsley didn't just grunt she growled loudly and on a regular basis :lol: Generally it was because she hated being picked up and it was fear. She was a beast :evil: took chunks out of my legs and would run and dive then sink her claws into the nearest leg!!! We soon learned to only pick her up when really necessary but she adored cuddles and noserubs and would come and sit with us nudging us for fuss
Our two dogs and two cats were frightened silly, especially when she chased them!
