Hi,
I've been reading that rabbits shouldn't be put on their backs. I will admit that I have done this to inspect Mr Snowdrops bits now he has had them removed and I need to check the site of removal. I've also held Malteser like this when I clean his bum of sticky cecotrops. I'm a bit bothered, I had a rabbit when I was younger (about 15yrs ago) and we held her like that too I think it's recent thoughts on the matter but I'm not sure of an alternative. I do this securely and when I'm done I lean right back and aid their transition so that they don't injure themselves.
Is there a way I can get these jobs done without placing them on their backs? It is often just me so I need a one man method
