Most rabbits don't like being held, that could be the problem. But, it may be because you aren't holding Fidget right, or....... Fidget fidgets a lot. LOL Not to offend your bun. It's quite challenging to hold a rabbit. I think you are supposed to hold him by your chest, and hold his bottom, not his feet. Make sure you are near a sofo,chair, etc. so he won't get hurt if he jumps out of your hand. I hope this helped!
